My name is Calanthea (combination of Calanthe and Calantha with the last 4 letters spelling Thea, my Nana's name) and I love it. My nickname is Callie and I have never met anyone with my name.

Well, I do love Calliope and Callista (and Evanthe, and Xanthe), and yes, I love Calanthe too.

It's a beautiful, soft-sounding, very unusual name which lends itself to adorable nickname Callie. Plus, because of its meaning it would be a sweet, subtle choice for a Christmas baby.
