Camilla?

+easye+

DH and I are thinking about Camilla Elizabeth C. 

 

What's your take?

I like Camilla.

Camilla Elizabeth sounds a bit stutter-y, though. Is is a family name? If so, I don't care about flow. If it's just a name you like, though, it's not the best sound.

Elizabeth is a family name and will definitely be our girl middle name for whatever we pick

Very pretty!

Agree. What about Camille?

I prefer Camille over Camilla. I think Camille Elizabeth is very pretty!

Camila with one "l" was one of my top picks for a girl. Gorgeous name. I'm not a fan of the middle name but love the fn. 

globetrotting7

Not a fan of Camille at all.

I LOVE Camilla. I think it's beautiful. I also kind of like the NN options of Milla and Millie. Great pick!

I like Camilla, but I don't think it flows well with Elizabeth.

ETA: This may not be an option, but I think Elizabeth Camilla would be peeeerfect.

LOVE Camilla. If Elizabeth is an important family name I don't really care about the flow.

It will have the Camilla Parker Bowles stigma always attached to it...do you really want it to be linked with the chick that has baggin Charles behind Diana's back?

It makes me think of Camilla Parker Bowles (unattractive English lady married to Prince Charles).  I have such a hard time not associating names with those I already know with that name.

ditto--and because of her I dont connect "pretty" with the name..more horse-faced

I love it and am so sad that DH vetoed it. :-( I actually think Camilla Elizabeth sounds fine.

This.  Camilla has a negative connotation to me now.  In fact I've considered getting Corgis and naming them Camilla & Charles.

However I do like Camellia, which is very similar, if you don't mind flower names.   I think the extra syllable might help the flow with Elizabeth.

Its my name and Ive always loved it. I had a few pronounciation issues growing up, but have always been the only Camilla in any school Ive attended. I think Camilla Elizabeth sounds fine together.

I like both Camilla and Camille, and I don't think they sound bad with Elizabeth.

This. When I hear "Camilla" I think of Camilla the Chicken from The Muppet Show.

LOVE it. Camilla was also on our list.

Camilla is actually in our top 5 and has been for awhile. I love Milla or Millie for nn. The association with Camilla Parker Bowles doesn't bother me, the odds of people thinking of her once they see a baby girl are pretty slim. Elizabeth is kind of a mouthful but it is pretty!

This.  Camille has a much better flow with Elizabeth than Camilla.
