Camilla or Cosima?

I love both so much, but just can’t decide!

Nicknames Mila or Cosy.

My only concern is Cosima is a bit less known so may have pronunciation issues.

I prefer Camilla.

Cosima is to much like a Zimmer frame. Cosima = Co Zimmer.

Minnie would be the way I would shorten Cosima

I really like Cosima. So pretty and interesting/memorable!

Camilla is ok but Millie is overused and dull imo.

Yes “cosy” like warm and cosy. I think it’s so cute.

I don’t mind cam or Millie, though Millie has become so overused due to the rise of Amelia/Emilia/Emily and Amélie so I much prefer Mila or Mimi over Millie.

I love both. They are different names though. Cosima is much more unusual and you’d probably have many more comments (including some negative ones). Camilla is much more usual though still not too popular. If I used Camilla I’d make sure that I was ok with both Cam and Milly, as there’s no guarantee that Mila will stick.

Cosima is nice also!

Camilla NN Mila is lovely.

Nigellas daughter is called Cosima and I think her nickname is Coco

Pemba · 29/01/2022 16:02

Also, Cosy? Are you sure about that? As in this room is warm and cosy etc?

I prefer Camilla, it makes a softer sound than Cosima. It's a very pretty name. Pity about the Parker Bowles association, but never mind there are probably better Camillas out there!
