I really love the name Camilla but I'm worried it sounds awful with our surname. Are they just go similar?

Antigone is setting her up for a lifetime of people saying Anti - gone.

Theodora is lovely

Love love love Theodora

Thank you. You've all confirmed what I was thinking.

Any opinions on Antigone or Theodora?

What about Carmel instead?

Caipira · 15/10/2016 11:23

No not with Miller. How about Camille?

gettingtherequickly · 15/10/2016 11:21

No, not with your surname sorry.

Wayfarersonbaby · 15/10/2016 11:16

Oh no, I wouldn't. Sorry, OP. Poor kid would have years at school of people chanting her name. Could you get it in a middle name spot? eg. Hannah Camilla Jane Miller or similar?

Friolero · 15/10/2016 11:15

You really can't use Camilla with Miller, it sounds ridiculous together (sorry)

BreatheDeep · 15/10/2016 11:13

Made me laugh when I read it. I personally wouldn't.

MadAsABagOfCats · 15/10/2016 11:13

It's a bit too similar.

rainbowstardrops · 15/10/2016 11:12

Camilla Not Canilla.

rainbowstardrops · 15/10/2016 11:11

Too similar in my opinion, sorry.
I've just sat here saying Canilla Miller really fast several times and it just made me chuckle.
Go for it if you really love it but she'll get teased to high heaven!

Vixxfacee · 15/10/2016 11:08

Why?

CannotEvenDeal · 15/10/2016 11:07

Yes they are, sorry
