Camilla vs Camila

Lanajax319 · May 2013

Hello!

I was wondering which spelling you prefer. DH and I have both English and Italian in our heritage so the origin isn't a huge factor. I was just wondering what you thought about each spelling. Do you think it changes the pronunciation? Will one be commonly misspelled? etc.

I appreciate your input.

I think Camilla will be pronounced "Cah-mill-ah" but Camila might get the "Ca-mee-luh" pronunciation (especially with the popularity of the name Mila).
I'd use the double l if you want the "Cah-mill-ah" pronunciation.

I agree with every word of this. Either way, pretty name.

Camilla is the Italian version and Camila the Spanish one. I prefer Camilla, such a pretty name!

Camilla is Ca-mill-a

Camila is Ca-mee-la

the question isn't which spelling do you like better, it is what pronunciation you like better.

which do YOU like better?

Camila = ka-MEE-la

I don't have a preference. Both are NMS.

My husband picked this name! I've been writing it out on a piece of paper (7th grade crush style LOL) and I think I like the double L. The more I've looked it up, it seems like Camilla really can be pronounced either way, while Camila is strictly the EE sound.

I appreciate your feedback. I'm leaning toward the double L spelling with the short 'i' pronunciation. It sounds pretty, but still strong and polished to me. Thank you!

This. I like the double Ls!

I see it as Cam-uh-la vs. Ca-mil-a.
