and unusual Greek names like this. Cal, Calan, Calandre, Calandrea, Calandria, Caleida, Calendra, Calendre, Calee, Calley, Calli, Callie, Cally, Kalandra, Kalandria.
CALANTHA. Greek, ‘lovely flower’. Another of the new Greek-accented Cal- names. Cal, Calanthe, Callee, Calley, Calli, Callie, Cally, Kalantha.

CALICO. English word name. Word name with fashionable o ending that has associations with both the homespun fabric and the mottled cat.

CALVINA. Latin, feminine form of CALVIN. There are several better Cal- names that don’t simply echo a male form. Calvine, Calvinetta, Calvinette.
CAMBRIA. Place name. Most names that start with Cam- are on the up, so why not this obscure term for Wales as well as for a prehistoric time period? Cambaria, Camberry, Cambie, Cambrea, Cambreah, Cambreia, Cambrie, Cambrina, Cambrya, Cami.
CAMBRIE. Modern invented name. Cute but slight mix of stylish sounds Cam and Bree. Cambree, Cambreigh, Cambrey, Cambri, Cambry.

CAMERA. Word name. Late tennis great Arthur Ashe (whose wife was a photographer) pioneered word names when he used this for his daughter. Camara, Kamara, Kamera.
