HelpRe: Camellia vs. Camilla
in reply to a message by Telfalathiel
I like Camilla the best, wish it wasn't associated with Parker-Bowles so much. Camille has that sound I hate-like Amelia. Mee-ul. Ugh. And I had a friend Camelia once. I like the name in theory. But it's a bit hard to say-to squeeze out the aforementioned meel-uh sound. It takes too much effort-lol. I like names that roll off the tongue. :) Maybe that's why I like Camilla best-easiest to say!

I also hate Amelia because of the mee-ul sound, but I wasn't thinking that Camellia was pronounced quite the same way. I was thinking it was just like Camilla, except with an extra E sound at the end. That's why I said that I like it best. Unless I'm wrong. If people would say it to rhyme with Amelia, then I wouldn't like it.

I always pronounce it kah-mel-ee-ah, not kah-meel-ee-ah.
