Middle name for Camille?

joyfuljenny · February 2015

Hubby and I have decided on Camille nn Millie for our baby girl who's due in June. We love it and feel confident about our choice.

Unfortunately, we can't find a middle to flow with it that we love as much. I want something clearly feminine and am drawn to short names. He likes long, more formal sounding names and has nixed nearly all of my one-syllable suggestions, and he's also looking for something not widely used. Our last name is two syllables and ends in -is.

Hubby's picks that were not my style:
Camille Sutton (too androgynous, and already used by a family member)
Camille Anderson (too androgynous and surname-y, which I think is weird when we have no family connection to the name)
Camille Penelope (can't explain why, just don't love it)

My picks that were not his style:
Camille Jane (he says no to Jane; he knew a Jane and has bad associations with the name)
Camille June (she's due in June, I thought it was cute and also love Millie June; he says it's too short)
Camille Violet (he doesn't like the initials C.V.)

What we'd choose between if we had to name her today... but we keep wondering if something better is out there:
Camille Grace (the only one-syllable mn he's on board with, although he doesn't like how often it's used)
Camille Miriam (I like that it's feminine and old-fashioned, he likes that it's three syllables and uncommon... neither of us love the flow. Admittedly, Miriam Camille sounds better, and my husband actually goes by a shortened version of his mn so he thinks that's normal, but I find it confusing and want to avoid it -- plan to keep Camille in the fn spot.)

I threw out Camille Catherine today... we're thinking on it. Never have loved Catherine on its own, but I think the two sound nice together and love that she could be Millie Kate. Hubby likes the length but not how common it is (we're in the South, Catherine is a VERY popular middle here).

Help! Any other suggestions?

Camille is on DH and I's short list - great choice! We will likely be using Camille Catherine because Catherine was DH's grandmother's name and we love the way it sounds. I don't think how common a middle name is really matters - personally we don't use middle names much in my family (just on birth certificate, wedding announcements, etc). If you love Camille Catherine or Camille Grace I wouldn't hestiate to use either one due to popularity.
