Comment left Jul 02, 2011: "Calla is my son's name. Spelt the Gaelic way but pronounced the same as Calla Lily. Calla isn't associated in the UK with any gender unlike in the US where it seems quite well known as a girls name so we've never had any problems in that direction. To me it's strong and masculine - the meaning of the Gaelic spelt version is 'strife/warrior'." (Report as inappropriate)
