I like calliope - it sounds pleasant and is equally pleasant to pronounce. It also conjures up nice, colourful images of a yesteryear that may never have existed.

Just saying calliope takes me on a magical journey of my imagination to Knott's Berry Farm.

I have 2 favorite words.

'Vexed' - In the sense of 'feeling tossed about, as if by waves'

'Junk' - I just love the sound and look of the word, and I'll often use it endearingly, like 'Hey Junk, how are you?'
