Camilla?

[PooDogMillionaire]

I've always loved this name, but rarely hear it nowadays... Is it awful?

[Sunshine511]

I love it!!! Wanted to use it myself (long story) but unfortunately I couldn't! I think it's a gorgeous, elegant name x

[StealthPolarBear]

Well I'd day it's very much associated with one lady. Up to you if that's a positive or negative

[RJnomore1]

I prefer camille myself.

[PooDogMillionaire]

Haha, Parker-Bowles I'm assuming

[Borninthe60s]

Lovely and unusual. But yes people will refer to CB-P but she will be long gone by the time your daughter is an adult!

[Catpants123]

I like it, very pretty. Never met one in real life (but two Camilles.)

[Only1scoop]

Very classic

I like it

[TheDowagerCuntess]

Lovely name. It's a known name, but not over-used / too popular at all. Also quite timeless, you wouldn't be able to date a Camilla to a particular decade.

[ThursdayLastWeek]

I like it.
Classic

[iciclewinter]

It's a pretty name. I think of Camilla Long the comedian.

[iciclewinter]

Oops, she isn't a comedian, she's a journalist but appears on entertainment programmes like HIGNFY.

[PicnicPie]

I love it. I think of Millie Mackintosh. Made in Chelsea and heir to Quality Street fortune? I.e. beautiful and rich

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

I have never been fond of the name, but the camilla I know is pretty, kind and generally lovely.

[Lucked]

CPB might not be long gone! She might be the Princess Consort of the king and have a higher public profile. Her public profile will depend on how long Prince Charles lives I suppose.

Despite that I would use the name, it is lovely and I prefer it to Camille

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I love it and think it is far nicer than Camille.

[wigglesrock]

I absolutely love it, was always one of my favourites. I think it's a beautiful name.

[Lizziedripping1]

Hugely popular amongst the public school kids in my area, still heavily used on some areas of society.

I do think Camille is a lovely alternative and softer sounding

[MitzyLeFrouf]

It reminds me of that Camilla.

And of Pamelaaaaaa from Gavin and Stacey. She has an obsession with Charles and Camilla and likes Mick to call her Camilla at 'romantic' moments.

[nellyflora]

Was on my list. DH couldn't get past CPB nor could my mother ( they went to school together unfortunately)

[TheDowagerCuntess]

I wouldn't worry about CPB. You call a baby/person a name, and they become the association to everyone important around them.

[MamaLazarou]

I think it's beautiful.

[Queenbean]

I love the name

Would the nickname be Millie though? There seem to be millions of those around

[CaptainWarbeck]

I love it too. Agree that when she is grown up CPB won't be such a popular reference.

[LadyLuck81]

I've a cousin called Camilla. We shorten it to Cam. Lovely name.

[mrsschu]

Like it. Had never come across any Camilla's but since having DS I've met a Camilla and a Camille at baby groups, both under 1 year old so it seems to be on the up!
