Yes~I love Camilla, honestly. I also adore Camille - but anyways, I find Camilla to be very beautiful and very Spanish-French, with a hint of decadence in there but still grounded enough to use in modern-day. The spelling variations are also nice, and it strikes me as almost Victorian in tone.So, yes, definitely.

I think I'm the only one that doesn't really like it. :(There is nothing wrong with it, but I'm just not a fan of the sound for some reason.

Camilla (in the Aeneid) was a princess so graceful that she could run across a field of wheat without bending the stalks. Quite a lot to live up to! But it's got a pretty sound and has never been so popular that it's attracted negative associations. I'd give it a Yes.I knew an interesting family once: son Charles and daughter Camilla. Father was a player of note, and the children were born in the same year to different mothers; and of course named independently. When that all fell apart, he ended up with both kids.

It is my mother's name, and it is the only reason I can stand the name.
I dislike the name itself, but whenever I hear it I think of my mother so.. :)
And you can get a few different nicknames - Cam, Cami, Milla, Milly, Ami

Parker-Bowles. That's the first association, and it isn't positive. It's not a bad name though.

Definitely yes!It makes me think of a nice cup of chamomile tea on a cozy cold evening. It's certainly a name I'd consider using.

Yes!Camilla always makes me think of sitting in front of a toasty fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa on a snowy winter evening.Because of that, Camilla has a "warm" and "cozy" feel to it to me.I love the name. :)
