Just curious because i personally think it's a pretty and cute name but no one seems to like it.

@SorbusAucuparia

Oooh, *@BoneAppleTeaa*, that's what it reminded me of! Shame really, Octavia would also be a nice name if it weren't for Skoda...
Camry dates back to ancient times, too - 1982! Wink

Yup, looks like Cameron with an odd spelling.

BoneAppleTeaa · 11/02/2021 09:26

I would probably still use the name Octavia, as it has history of being an actual Latin girls name.

Makes me think of the car, Toyota Camry.

Well, it's pretty awful. It's the surname of a recent PM who blithely threw a referendum that resulted in the current Brexit omnishambles, only with subliterate txtspk tweakings.

See also Jaxxon or Makkaylah or K8.

Because it looks like you can't spell

2typesofjungle · 11/02/2021 09:15

It looks like a stupid version of Cameron.

SorbusAucuparia · 11/02/2021 09:14

I agree with @4Mongrels. I think names that look like misspellings/creative variations tend to be unpopular, especially y-spellings. (e.g. Madysyn, Aliviyah, Jaysyn etc.). Cameron is quite nice and definitely underused.

londongirl12 · 11/02/2021 09:14

Because it looks like Cameron, but trying to be modern with a weird spelling

Ismellphantoms · 11/02/2021 09:13

Is it a unisex name or for boys? It looks like someone can't spell Cameron.

ShaunaTheSheep · 11/02/2021 09:13

Girl or boy? How do you pronounce it?

Hotcuppatea · 11/02/2021 09:13

Awful. Why not Cameron?

dinosforall · 11/02/2021 09:12

It looks like txtspk

4Mongrels · 11/02/2021 09:11

It sounds like Cameron gone wrong!
