Camilla
General thoughts on Camilla?Do you have any combo ideas using Camilla as a fist or middle name? Right now, I'm playing with Camilla Winifred, Camilla Blythe, Camilla Celeste, and Camilla Rosamund, but I'm not sure I love any of them.If you're a nickname sort of person, what nickname feels most natural for Camilla--Cami, Cam, Milly, something else?

Iris Camilla is my go-to combo at the moment. You're welcome to it. As a fn, from your list I like Camilla Blythe and Camila Rosamund the best. I'd use Millie as a nn. I met a Brigitte Camille once which you could tweak into Camilla Bridget.

Camilla is really pretty. My favourite of your combos is Camilla Winifred. I also really like Camilla June and Camilla Josephine. I'm definitely a nickname person! I'd probably go with Cam for it's an androgynous-ness. I really like boy-ish nickname on girls. Also, with the two combos I proposed, CJ could work.

It's weird, I used to really dislike Camilla and Camille, but for some reason lately I'm not dislike Camille. Can't quite say the same for Camilla, yet, though. But I do quite like Camilla Winifred! It's really pretty. I think Milly seems like the best nn for it. I don't like the sound of Cami at all, though Cam is nice and upbeat.

It's not my style, but I don't dislike it. I definitely like it in some combos.Camilla Rosamund is wonderful! I also like Camilla Winifred. Camilla Blythe looks good, although generally I see Camilla as softer than Blythe.I also like: Camilla Eglantine, Camilla Edith, Camilla Mabel, Camilla Persephone, Camilla Proserpine, Camilla Esme, Camilla Raine, Camilla Iris, Camilla Isabel, Camilla Dawn, Camilla Poppy, Camilla Emily, Camilla Cecily, Camilla Saoirse, Camilla Elise, Camilla MegaraI think Cam, Callie, Calla, Cami, Milla, etc. would all work. If I could pick one I'd probably go with Calla/Calli, or maybe Cami.

I love Camilla. I would have thought about it myself, if we didn't already have a Milly in the family. Milly seems the most comfortable nn to me, or Milla. The only Camilla I actually know goes by Mill. Camilla Winifred is nice. Camilla Maud, Camilla Fleur and Camilla Ruth work for me.

I like Camilla a lot. I'm not usually wild about Blythe or Winifred, but I think all of your combos sound really lovely when spoken. Maybe one of these:Camilla Rose - a little more youthful than Camilla Rosamund, imo
Camilla Violet - I just love Violet as a mn
Camilla Selene - Sort of like Camilla Celeste, but with a different feel, and no visual alliteration.I kind of like Cami as a nickname, but they're all a little cutesy for me. Maybe Milla?
