I always immediately go to nicknames. Alexandra has so many; Al, Alex, Lex, Lexi, Sasha, Sandra, Sandy, Sandrine, etc, so a child could pick and choose which fits their identity better, and most if not all are pleasant to the ear. Callista, however, is mostly just Cally, or Lista if you're particularly precious, both of which are not to my tastes. Cally makes me think of America. I prefer the meaning of Callista but prefer the history of Alexandra. So, Alexandra personally.
