The name of Calliope has given you the desire for creative, artistic or musical expression in an original way. With increased familiarity you are inclined to speak your mind in a forthright, sometimes argumentative manner which creates annoyance and often hard feelings. You could be inventive and ingenious along practical lines. New ideas hold your interest, but you become restless when boredom or monotony sets in. Although you are congenial in the early stages of friendships, it is not easy for you to maintain relaxed, harmonious relationships because, through increasing familiarity, you are inclined to lack patience, to be intolerant, and to speak your mind in a frank, argumentative, and occasionally hurtful manner. You do not depend on others for encouragement, but you respond to appreciation and enjoy being the centre of attention. You like to act spontaneously, but impulsive decisions and poor judgment can occasionally lead you into unsettling circumstances which spoil the success of your undertakings. Seldom planning ahead, you undertake projects and work out the details as circumstances arise. This name does not offer the softness of expression for long-lasting compatibility in close associations. In an argument, you usually emerge victor, but at a cost.
