Elsa - I worry this will catch on and become more popular than I'd like. I think I mainly like it for the feline association.
Kaia - yes, I think a bit too K-name-trendy for me, but I can't help but like it anyway. I makes me think of the ocean in Hawaii, due to time I've spend there and everything being called something-Kai or Kai-of-the... And it's the only name I have a combo I adore. Kaia Delphine. Also it's my "safe" name, the one I know most people would approve of when they saw it. But the way I shy from popularity... honestly, that it has won this poll is enough for me to think, "ok, so I won't use *that* one." I'm so stubborn!
Callista - Maybe it's that I didn't actually watch that show, but I'm at a point where Callista Flockhart is not what I associate with the name. It's too bad she still spoils it for others. Still, I think her influence will continue to fade and would be meaningless with an actual baby/child carrying the name. I keep this on my short list. A little showy? Yeah, I can see that. It offers up the humble nn Callie though. I don't know... this is probably the newest one to my list. I'm not clear on my own feelings yet.
Tabitha - Ahhhh... 'th' is very much a favorite of mine! And I like both the cat and cute-girl-from-Bewitched associations. But I'm starting to think this would be an unlikely choice. It's probably the #5 from this list for me.
Callista: I never watched that show either. It's just that since I've never heard it on anyone else, I associate it as strongly with her as I associate Cher with Cher, Madonna with Madonna, etc. It's not the name's fault, but I have a little warning bell that goes off in my head with famous people's names since those people get so darn much publicity if they do anything silly or reprehensible.
