I like Esther a lot but I can see how it might be too old-fashioned. I wouldn't use it but I would shake the hand of anyone who did.
Calypso is awesome, but again, I just like how it sounds. I can't seriously see anyone using it for their child. A cat maybe...or a race horse. If you were dead set on using it I'd use "Cally or Caly" as a nickname just for safety. After all, kids can be mean. I remember a girl named Cherry we went to school with and that girl was forever picked on. :(
The only name I don't like is Cadence, but that's because I'm an Army wife and a cadence is what the soldiers sing/shout (?) when they are running.
