Calidris
It's the genus for birds such as the western sandpiper and the sanderling.
Do you think it sounds feminine, masculine or unisex?
First name, middle or heck no?
What type of person do you envision when you see / "hear" this name.
What would be some nicknames you might use?
Sidenote, not expecting. I just like sandpipers. Just curious at 2am. 🙃

Thoughts on the name Calidris (Cali)?
I like it, but my husband's not sure because it isn't an existing name (it's in reference to the sandpiper, a bird we both like a lot). I can't ask friends or family about it (became a rule for us after naming the last kid).
