What do you think of Calla Marie?

Marie must be the MN. Our original plan was Maya Marie, but a gal can play around with names for a few more months, can't she? ;-)
What do you think? Is it pretty and unique, or does it bring up thoughts of Marie Callender's?
(BTW, the last name begins with a hard "G".)

I love it! I just heard the name recently and like it a lot, which says a lot as I am much more into classic names. I do like its modern feel.

Reminds me of Kalamazoo ... city in Michigan.
Calla is beautiful though so I can see why you love it.
What about Tessa?
I like it - unique and flower names are in right now. The only problem I might see is pronunciation - CAH-la or Calla (short a like 'gal')?
AJ, enjoying life with C.
Thank you all for the feedback!
I don't think I would pick Tessa, though I do see how it goes well with Marie.
And the point of obsessing over the middle name is a good point, indeed. But... on the other hand, I do think it's important that the fn and mn "go" together. Calla would go OK w/ our last name; Maya actually goes better.
We would pronounce it like the Calla in calla lily (short "a", like in "cat"). That is actually where I got the name. *sigh* Sometimes I wish our surname was Smith or Jones. Names seem to go better with those types of surnames. Ours is a Polish name, not unusual at all in Chicago - eh, not so much here in Oklahoma...
