We're not Welsh, I just think it's lovely. It's easy to pronounce, easy to spell, and not too long.

Is this just hormonal madness or is it a nice name?

Name IMHO

It makes me think Camber - which is something to do with the arch of a road.

sounds made up or like Cumbria.

Terrible, sorry!

I thought it was a made up name - a smoosh of Cambridge and Cumbria. Sorry!

It's a place in Spain as well I think.

In some accents it would sound awful.

I'm not keen. What is it about the name you like, if you're wanting suggestions? The sound, the look, the meaning?

Umm, does it not sound / look like Cumbria.

It's a place in California, where Arachnaphobia was filmed. It's actually a very nice town.
