Fiona Camille or Camilla Noelle

Daughter due in less than two weeks.
Sister to Oscar and Henry...
Leaning towards Fiona but these are the final two. Which is prettier/more feminine to complement the strong boy names?

I LOVE Camilla and I love those nicknames, too. Couldn't get DH to go for Camilla.

Fiona and Camilla are both so pretty. I love the nn Calla for Camilla.

Either way, your baby girl is going to have a gorgeous name!

I voted for Fiona Camille but I like Fiona Noelle better.

Camilla Noelle is gorgeous!

I really like Fiona. I very much dislike your Nn suggestions. Fiona or Fi are so much better!

Camilla is beautiful, but your nicknames for either name are odd to me.

Thanks for all the feedback, both positive and negative.

Fiona is a strong contender as it honours my Irish/Scottish heritage which is very important to me after losing my father last year. Plus the use of the initial F in Fiona honours my dad's father Frederick. I would call her Fiona in public but we all have shortened pet names at home so it'd be Fi the odd time at home. (Fille is pronounced the exact same way / just french word for girl and combines the F in Fiona with the middle name ending).

Camilla - I dislike Millie and Cami sounds harsh to me. We had Calla Lillies in our wedding bouquet and my father always liked the name Calla, hence that as a nickname. Camilla was never as strong of a contender but it recently caught our eye. I like it with our last name, which also starts with a C, but I don't know if it's as spunky and charismatic as Oscar and Henry - our other sons' names.

Noelle is my moddie name and I want to either pass in it or an equally pretty french name like Camille. I'm not sure if Fiona Noelle is hard to say or not with the double use of Ns.

Anyways, it looks like Fiona and Camilla are neck in neck on this board so that doesn't really help! Lol

Also, I've loved Fiona long before mike Myers used it in his Shrek movie and I do not associate it with Shrek because I never really was into the Shrek movies. If I had any concerns over people associating my choices with odd characters from pop culture, I never would have named my firstborn Oscar! That said, Oscar the grouch cracked me up and I love Oscar Wilde and Oscar Peterson among others. I like nanes that others shy away from cause in my opinion it's so much cooler to have a distinct name than one that is heard all over the playground.

Just noticed that it looks like I wrote FiFia as a nickname! Lol
There should be a slash there! Fi/Fia

No wonder people thought that was odd!

I prefer Fiona, but those nick names made me pick Camilla. They sound less like a girl and more like a Pomeranian that is always carried around in a purse.
