Cambria

Zimger

I think about this name every now and again. The post below has me thinking about it today. When spelled correctly I like it. I don't like it spelled Cambri.

Thoughts on it?

it reminds me of a town i n italy called cambira...it is an absolutely gorgeous town, but dont like it so much for a name.

It's one of my least favourite names.  I don't think I have a good reason why; I just really dislike it.  It also makes me think of the Spanish verb "cambiar."

Cambri I'm not feeling it.

Here are some other thoughts:

Calista, Cosette, Celeste, Cecile.

I'm not a fan it reminds me of the county in Pennsylvania where I am from and I also think of the band Coheed and Cambria

I don't mind it. I lived in Cambria County though and went to Central Cambria so it has different meaning for me. But otherwise its okay.

I don't care for it as a first name.  It's the classical name for Wales.

I really dislike it. I just think of the like town Cambria, CA.

Plus, it combines two things I don't like "Cam" and "Bree" (Camille/Camilla are exceptions).

I don't get how Cambri = Cambria. They sound like two different "names" to me. Not a place where I would say "spelled correctly."

They do sound like different names, but I stand by my statement. The only time I see or hear Cambri is on the coattails of Cambria. Within that statement I was also refering to the spelling I noticed earlier, which was Cambreigh.

I love Coheed and Cambria but not enough to name my child after them. I know the name has been around much longer than the band, but that's all I think of.

I don't mind it, actually. It seems like a name I'd dislike, but somehow it's not... It wouldn't suit just anybody though, you'd need to be a special kind of girl to pull it off

LOL. I know a Cambria and she was named after the town.

I think it's a great idea to name your child after a font. She'll be so cute with her sister Verdana and her brother Comicsans.

I like it! Original but not crazy.

Isn't this the name of a type of engineered quartz product?

I think of Wales when I see it.
It's pretty, but not as a persons name.

Well aren't you a peach?

Actually my son isn't named Comic Sans, but thanks for the snotty remark!

It's actually a guilty pleasure name of mine. But I probably wouldn't ever use it.

Yeah, I have a ton of GP girl names, but nothing that actually stands out as a name I really like. Girl names are tough!

I'm sure I'll find the right one eventually...

Not sure why that last posted duplicated several times. Sorry about that.

Taught a cute girl by that name a few years ago. She pronounced it Cam-Bree-Ay

wittyschaffy

It makes me think of the countertop manufacturer.

That. Good band. Bad for a kid's name IMHO.

I personally Love this name. However i am a big coheed and cambria fan. Im pretty sure the name means 'change' as well but i could be wrong.

Love it! I think it is unique and pretty. I knew a girl named Kambria in college and thought she had a very cool name.

This is what I think of first off for sure. Not bad per se, but that's what my mind automatically puts together!

I totally agree. I've actually never heard of it until now. It's totally not normally my style, but I think I really like it! I don't think I'd be able to pull a nn from it, but I love the way Cambria sounds on it's own.
