HelpCambria
I'm working with someone at an insurance company named Cambria, after a woman hit my car despite the fact that I was honking the horn continously as she came at me. She didn't use her rear view mirror or her backup camera either. Just had to use a little opportunity to vent here, sorry. Anyway wdyt of the name Cambria?

A font or a geological period.

Meh. It’s alright. Not my style.

Haaaate it
I think it's hideous.

I like it. Cambria it has a romantic sound, but I imagine it on someone who is active and a little adventurous. The nickname Brie is cute even if it is a cheese named after a French region.

Far too geological. And there was a male ballet dancer in South Africa a few years ago who bore the name Kimbrian; I'd assumed it was Kim + Brian and pronounced it accordingly, but a colleague said he knew the guy and it was KIMbreean. Cambria, through no fault of its own, reminds me strongly of that.
ETA I will say this for it: it's better than Wales.

It's ... not bad.
I've always intuitively said Caym- like Cambrian, and not Cam-. I don't know if I like the Cam pronunciation. I think it has sort of a late 90s feeling about it. It reminds me strongly of Cameron, and of Campbell (remember when that was a trend, naming girls Campbell? Talk about a flash in the pan). Just in general, the k-mbr- sound puts me too much in mind of Kimberly, which I dislike a lot. But I don't really mind CAYM-bria.
Reminds me of Cambriel, also - which I learned to say as Cam- and I don't like very much either.

Is it cam-Bree-A or Came-bree-a?
It has an attractive sound but doesn't sound like a person's name. There is a variety of faux granite countertops called Cambria.

CAM-bree-a

I love Cambria. It makes me think of the Cambrian time period in geology.

Oh that's awful :( Hope the issue can be solved!
I personally dislike Cambria. Ricky Schroder (actor) has a daughter named Cambrie (which apparently was made up by her mom in relation to the city Cambridge and is pronounced CAYM-bree, not CAM-bree) and she seems to be super annoying on instagram so I think of super skinny girls with lip fillers :( I watched her father in "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and wanted to see what he was up to which was how I found out about her. I'd honestly prefer Cambridge, at least that has some substance.
It makes me think of cheese (try Cambrie, the perfect blend of Camenbert and Brie!).
Cambria is better than Cambrie. But I find it really harsh. It also seems super trendy because Cameron (and Camryn for girls) was so common and it also vaguely reminds me of Brianna and other trendy 80s/90s favorites such as Kayla, Brittany, Bria, Brynn, Bree, Brooke etc.

To be honest, I always thought Cambrie was CAM-bree and Cambria CAM-bree-ah.
Only the Schroder daughter gave me the idea of CAYM-bree. And CAYM-bree-ah. But as Cambridge is CAYM-bridge I guess both could work? Maybe you could do a survey here.
