HelpRe: Camille vs Camilla
in reply to a message by number1212
Camille is much better, in my opinion. It makes me think of a really calm and nice environment. Fresh white sheets, white candles, the ocean, the sun.
Camilla reminds me of the wife of Prince Charles and the whole messy situation with Diana. I don't even read gossip magazines, but everyone still kind of knows their story. I remember someone once saying that apparently he once told her "I want to be your tampon" while cheating on Diana. No, thanks. It's not a bad name and it is usable but I automatically think of her. Also, it is more likely to get misspelled. Camila is actually more common than Camilla and Kamila is used in Poland and several other countries. Kamilla is used too.
I prefer Camila because it doesn't make me think of the whole royal gossip and because kah-MEE-la sounds nicer to me.

I want to be your tampon??!!
Oy, that would have turned me off to him so quickly. Disgusting and creepy.

Technically, he didn't say he wanted to be her tampon. This was the conversation:
Prince Charles: Oh, God. I’ll just live inside your trousers or something. It would be much easier!
Camilla: What are you going to turn into, a pair of knickers? Oh, you’re going to come back as a pair of knickers.
Prince Charles: Or, God forbid, a Tampax. Just my luck!
Camilla: You are a complete idiot! Oh, what a wonderful idea.
Prince Charles: My luck to be chucked down a lavatory and go on and on forever swirling round on the top, never going down.
Note the "God forbid", and "Just my luck!" But for ease of ridicule, it became in the popular imagination the much simpler "I want to be your tampon."
I love these OT tangents.
