Possible middle names: -Calypso Silvia: both exotic and elegant
-Calypso Iphigeneia: two ancient greek names together make a great combination! Both sound sophisticated and sexy!
- Calypso Acacia: those two names sound great together and I see those names as a beautiful, intelligent and sexy woman.I knew a young woman called Calypso. She's very feminine, elegant, polished and posh. I've always associated those characteristics with this name.
Having only heard this name of the sea nymph from Greek mythology, I see this name as elegant and wise. It must not be very popular; I never come across others with this name, though I think its very pretty.
