Well my own name is Camille so naturally I prefer it over Camilla.
Nearly 100% of the time people address me as my name ,Camille, except for some of my friends who sometimes call me Cammie to annoy me. I personally wouldn't worry about that, because it really isn't an issue.

I prefer Camille, which I adore. Camilla is nice too, and I also like Camila (cah-MEE-lah, whereas Camilla is cah-MILL-ah). Kamila and Kamilla should be avoided unless you have heritage to back them up.

I much prefer Camilla, especially since if you don't like Cam or Cammie, you may like Milla. I find when there is a nickname I don't like, I can overlook it if I can find an alternative nickname that I can suggest to those people who insist on using nicknames.

I'd go with the spellings you have and just insist people address her by her actual name.
I think which is preferable depends on what you wish to pair it with.
A family friend has a baby named Kamila. I think a gal I knew in uni that we called Cami is actually a Camilla, but I haven't met a lot of them.

I like Camille slightly more, I like it with the nn Millie.

I have known one Camille (she was about 5 or 6 when I knew her, she had red hair) and I knew a Camilla as well (about 11 when I knew her).

---

I'd consider using Camille as a middle name but Grant had a fling (before he met me) with a girl named Camilla so not sure about that. Maybe if I had a child in the future and I wasn't with him (he wasn't the father)

I love them both! I think I like Camilla a tiny bit better, though. But only because I don't know anyone with that name.

---

I do have a friend named Camille, and she doesn't go by a nickname, never has.

I like Camille, but prefer/love Camilla.

---

I like the spelling Camilla when pronounced "kuh-mill-uh" and Camila or Kamila for "kuh-mee-luh".

---

I don't know anyone with either name.

I love both names.

---

Camille sounds like a very sweet name, while Camilla is a bit more edgy.

---

I have a friend named Camilla, and she is often called Cammie. I don't really like Cammie, but that's what you're gonna face with either of these names.

Camille!

---

It's very sweet. Camilla is an unnecessary elaboration. You'll still get Cam or Cammie from Camilla... I don't know why you're only worrying that that'll happen with Camille.

---

Camille is spelled Camille; Camilla is spelled Camilla (to me). I much prefer Camille.

---

I know a girl who goes by Camille, but it's her middle name. My roommate's middle name is also Camille. I don't know anyone with Camille as a first name. Ditto Camilla.

I slightly prefer Camille, because Camilla reminds me of Camilla Parker-Bowles.
I know a Camille, she doesn't go by a nickname.

I much prefer Camille

---

Camilla seems more stuffy to me for some reason. I also generally don't like names that end with -illa. I ALWAYS think Gorilla. Crazy yes, but I can't help it.

---

Camille is elegant and pretty without trying to hard. I love her and she is one of my top choices for a MN although I often think she would be a perfect first name too. However, when I move her to first name, I want to make it Camellia nn Camille.

I love Camilla, though I'm also fond of Camille.

I'm acquainted with two girls named Camille -- one adopted the nickname Cami, and the other adopted Mila.
