Just had a customer call in with the name of Calixta. Thoughts? Opinions? I rather like it.

In theory I like it, but it sounds like someone is having trouble saying Calista

Personally, I don't like it much. It sounds like a font.

I automatically picture a magical (halloween stereotyped) witch's cat with sparkly magic sparks shooting off her. There is a witch in the background mixing witch brew. (This is not unusual for me, I'm very visual and EVERYTHING registers with an image for me! It sounds psycho sometimes but it's like everything triggers random-seeming associations...)

So I don't know it.

Haha that happens to me too, not with every name, but quite strongly with some. They'll be so random, like "George reminds me of sausages."

But in this case, it made me think of Textas, which are a brand of felt-tipped pen or crayons.

I really like it, actually. I also like Calixto.
