I haven't heard this name at all in real life and I find that to be so sad since this is such a beautiful name! I love the potential nicknames of Cammy, Mel, Lia, and Melly so much so too!

Camellia... a delectable, white-colored title which heralds the cool rise of spring after a quiet, contemplative winter. A symbol of everlasting purity, I imagine she will blossom into a simple, beautiful, exquisite flower. In my daydreams, she is a girl in a flowing white dress with flowers entwined in her hair. Clasping a book to her chest, she wanders into an alluring forest thicket with wide eyes, her heart open to the mysteries that surround her. In her presence, there is a sense of peace and calm that permeates the air like the scent of blooming flowers. She moves with graceful purpose, her steps guided by a deep reverence for the vein of the natural world... her soul is entwined with the ever-repeating rhythms of the earth.

It's very pretty, but it will take me a bit to warm up to it. The flower itself is very pretty.

Camellia Johnson (1953 – 2015) was an American concert and opera singer. She began her career performing works from the mezzo-soprano repertoire, but after encouragement from the staff at the Metropolitan Opera retrained her voice as a soprano. She successfully made that transition after winning the Young Concert Artists competition in 1993. She went on to perform as a leading soprano with orchestras and opera companies internationally.

This is a very underrated and ignored name. I will most likely name my daughter this. It's not as common as Camilla or Camille, and it sounds even prettier.

I have always pronounced Camellia like ka-mill-ee-ah.
My sister has this name, and most people mispronounce it. So many people (including most of her teachers), in fact, that now she just tells people to call her "Camel" if they don't get her name right the first few times...
