Due my second daughter in 6 weeks. My partner did not want this baby, as its too close to our daughter who will be 15 months old. If I kept the baby, we left his house were the rules, so that's what we did.

There are 4 names which all have special meaning relating to the circumstances and that I love, but for the life of me I can't decide which I like best for a first name, I'd like to use one if not two of the others as a middle name . Can anyone help come up with the perfect name combination?

Names are:

Camille
Eve or Eva
Thea

If it helps, my other daughters name is Orlagh x

Camille Eve, lovely name.

Choconut · 07/12/2022 21:29

Eva Camille runs best, but Camille is much nicer than Eve/Eva IMO. I'd have Camille first and then think of a different second name.

Cleopatra67 · 07/12/2022 21:25

All lovely but prefer Eva to Eve. What an arsehole your partner is.

17caterpillars1mouse · 07/12/2022 21:22

Camille is beautiful. I love it and she could also go by Cami or Milly both of which are also lovely.

Orlagh and Camille also sound interesting and lovely together.

I would choose Camille Thea or Camille Eva Thea

Jessbow · 07/12/2022 20:19

Good luck- bestrong for your girls

I think Camille is beautiful on its own. Stops a bit dead for a second name.
Camilla eve flows better

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 06/12/2022 01:30

Eve
Best of luck for delivery & life with your daughters 💐

Luredbyapomegranate · 06/12/2022 00:18

Camilla Eve

Congratulations. Sorry you are having such a rough time. I hope things get better soon.

AdaColeman · 05/12/2022 23:49

Camille is so lovely.
Camille Thea is a very pretty combination.
If using all three names I'd use Camille Thea Eve.

IamThegreaterMole · 05/12/2022 23:35

Camille Thea Eve

PMAmostofthetime · 05/12/2022 23:31

Thea Eve is beautiful x

SkylightSkylight · 05/12/2022 17:46

@Emz555 did you post about him saying that at the time? If you did, well done for moving out, he was a complete twat! If that wasn't you, he's a twat anyway!!

I think Camille Eve is the nicest combination. I think Camille is the best 'equal' name with Orlagh too.

I hope you're choosing names YOU love, not names that you think, will have him crawling back to you lamely apologising for being such a nasty bastard!!

ofwarren · 05/12/2022 17:40

So hard to choose!
I think they are all lovely
Good luck to you OP Flowers

mathanxiety · 05/12/2022 17:38

Eva Camille is a nice combination.

I think Eva goes well with Orlagh.

Sorry you have been treated so badly by a man who apparently saw contraception as someone else's responsibility. Wishing you all good things as you grow your little family.

watermelonseeds · 05/12/2022 17:38

Your ex is a twat of the highest order.

How are you pronouncing Camille? I say it with a "mill" sound at the end, like Camilla without the a. But I hear some people say it like "meal", which I really dislike (of course in French they don't even say the last L, so I don't know where it comes from).

Eve is beautiful and timeless and strong and sweet and underused.

I wouldn't worry about flow. Names are so rarely said together like that.

spiderlight · 05/12/2022 17:37

Thea Camille or Eva Camille would flow beautifully, and Thea is a bit more unusual than Eva at the moment.

DuchessOfLegoland · 05/12/2022 17:35

Camille Eve

stopringingme · 05/12/2022 17:33

Camille Eva

MillyMollyManky · 05/12/2022 17:26

I think Eva Camille and Thea Camille flow best. However, I think flow matters less than having the first name you like best, so if that's Camille go for that.

You sound great, op, and I wish you all the best.

FearofQueefing · 05/12/2022 17:16

Camille is so so lovely 😊

dream28 · 05/12/2022 16:38

I think Eva Camille Thea or Eva Thea Camille has nicer flow (if used Ava pronounciation), but I like Thea and Camille better than Eva. Do you pronounce Eva as Ava or Iva?

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 05/12/2022 16:30

Emz555 - are you on Peanut? I recall a very similar thread on there with an Orlagh and whether Camille 'goes' with it.

I think Thea goes better with Orlagh so I'll go with Thea Camille.

chella2 · 05/12/2022 12:18

Eva Camille or Thea Camille

Beautiful names. Wishing you well mama Flowers

fairycupcakes · 05/12/2022 12:12

I admire your strength and wish the very best for you and your daughters. What a strong mum & role model they have ✨

Camille is my favourite of your list and goes lovely with Orlagh @Emz555 x

DystarOxo · 05/12/2022 11:23

I think Eva Camille sounds lovely x

DuchessOfSausage · 05/12/2022 11:21

Eve is my favourite but Evies are everywhere. I don't like Eva or Thea.
So Camille, which is lovely.

Not on your list, but in a similar vein to Eve/Eva- Aoife would go well with Orlagh.
