Cambria has been on my mind a lot lately. How do you pronounce it? I’ve been saying “came-bree-uh”, but I guess it’s with a short A sound. I’ve been thinking of the Cambrian time period.

I’d pronounce it KAM-bree-uh and yes, it makes me think of the Cambrian era. I’m not a fan of it.

i like how clunky-cute it sounds, and the association with thd geological era is really cool. i say KAM-bree-uh.

I like it. I'd say came-bri-a (like Cambrian) or cam-bri-a (Cam like the first syllable of Cameron, Camden, camera, etc.

I'd pronounce it KAM-bree-ə, like the band Coheed & Cambria. It's what immediately comes to mind for me.

I like it. It's etymology surprised me when i clicked the link. It's got a musical quality to it. I pronounce it the same as you.
