Calypso
One of the most dramatic and exotic of the o-ending possibilities, Calypso has references to Greek mythology (check the Odyssey) and rhythmic ties to a genre of vibrant West Indian music. Though it's never been in the US Top 1000, Calypso is Number 428 on Nameberry.

O-ending names are my absolute favorites. I adore Hero, Willow, Margo, and Juno, and Marlowe has always been a front-runner…for a boy. Shiloh is also entirely masculine to me.
mckaylalove Says:
I already had a lot of these on my list – Clio/Cleo, Coco, Harlow, Indigo, Juno, Shiloh and Willow. Hero and Echo are also slowly growing on.

Such a boring list. Meh.
Lo Says:
Shiloh seems very masculine to me as well.
RBK Says:
I love these! My husband is set on naming a baby girl Shiloh. I am glad it made the list. I also adore Echo, Marlo, Willow, and Juno. Not a fan of Cleo or Hero, but I can totally see how people could like them!
Chloe14 Says:
Juno I like best from that list! But I probably would not use it.
Myosotis Says:
Juno, Willow, Margo/Margot/Margaux, Echo, Clio, and Hero, are all great. Clio is definitely my favourite, thanks to the muse connection. Marlo/Marlow/Marlowe and Indigo I prefer for boys. Marlowe and Indigo are actually both on my favourite boys list. Harlow sounds like a place to me, and Isabeau is very beautiful, but the -beau ending screams masculine (that’s what 5 years of French does), and I just can’t get over it.

@Linda and Pam at Nameberry – FYI – The Juno entry only has a sceen shot photo but no writing.

I am really starting to like names ending in -o
I also really like Callisto, Jo, Peridot, and Snow
senseandsensibility Says:
not a fan of these -o sounding endings!
linda Says:
@Mischa–all fixed. Thanks.
LuMary Says:
I love Shiloh. Io is great, too.
LuMary Says:
Also love Coco, Echo, Jo Jo
ruolan Says:
I think Hero is my favorite on this list and DH likes Coco. As much as I like the sound of Margo/Margot/Margaux, I can’t seem to get on board with the multiple spellings ):

I like Juno and Willow. I also like Shiloh, but only for a boy.
amidala01 Says:
Not sure whether I am happy or annoyed that Isabeau appeared on this list.. Almost my favourite name in the world 🙂 I also like Juno, I may have to add it to the list 🙂
LuMary Says:
Forgot to mention Jericho as a biblical place name. Might as well throw in Cairo, too.
LuMary Says:
My mother was thinking of naming me Theo. There was a female character by that name in one of the old black and white movies.
