Camilla, Camila, Camille.

I've always disliked Camille because it reminded me of 'chameleon' and I've never liked the pro. of Camila. (Kah-mee-lah)
But lately Camilla is really getting to me. It doesn't seem like a very popular name and I've never known anyone with it. What is your over all oppinion of the name and what would you think of a little girl with this name? An adult?

And which is your favorite, Camilla, Camille, or Camila?

It's ok, but not my favourite.

Thanks

I love the name Camille, but the others are nice too in my opinion.

I LOVE Camille, Camila and Camilla. I'd be over the moon to see a little Camilla / Camila / Camille.

I also adore Camelia / Camellia (the former is a Romanian form of Camilla, the latter a flower).

I like Camille just because I don't Prince Charles's new wife Camilla.

Camellia or Camilla.

I love Camille, but prefer it as a mn, as it flows well with a lot of names and I also would like to avoid the nn Cammy. Camilla is also nice (though I don't care for Camila at all) but reminds me of Prince Charles' wife a little too much, and therefore seems a bit stuffy.

I like the Spanish / Italian pronounciation kah-MEEL-ah the most.

I prefer the spelling Camilla to Camila and I think they can be pronounced either way.

So in order of prference I like:

Camilla
Camille
Camila (actually I don't like the way this looks)

Overall, I think Camilla / Camille are classic pretty names. They remind me of gardens.

I definately think that Camille is the best. It is okay. It is very sophistocated, and would sound better on an adult then on a little kid.

Camilla's fine, but I prefer Camellia to them all. I fell in love with it watching Now, Voyager, in which the camellia flower plays a rather substantial role. :)

After Camellia, I like Camille (also thanks to Now, Voyager), and then Camilla. Camila doesn't appeal to me.

I forgot about Camellia--I love that one, too

I used to like Camilla, I think its a lovely name, and has very pretty nicknames, like Millie and Cami, but I associate it with the Duchess of Cornwall and I must say I am not a big fan of her, so I wouldn't use it anymore. These days I prefer Camille for the same reason.

That's another thing, I'm afraid people will associate it with the Duchess of Cornwall also and I don't really like her.
The only reason I've gotten past that is because I associate it with Camilla Belle and she kind of makes up for that.

Yeah, Camilla Belle is a better association for sure.

I like Camille and Camilla, and I think they look good, but they're not my all-time faves or anything. I knew one girl named Camilla, but we were never more than acquaintances, so it didn't really leave a lasting impression on me.

I think it would be cute on a little girl, and it would work for an adult. Aunt Camilla has a nice ring to it ;D But Grandma Camilla? I don't know...

I like Camilla best by far. I've always been turned off by the "eel" sound in Camille and Camila. I've never known a Camilla, but I should think it would be all right on a child, and would definitely mature well.
