middle name for camilla

[doireallywant3]

DC2 is not due for a while yet but am obsessing over girls names already! Its not even definiteyl a girl but I already have my boys names chosen. We love the name camilla but can't think of a middle name. our surname begins with Sl..... DD1 is called Sophia Charlotte. any ideas?

Rose/ Roseanna/ Rosea came to mind

Phoebe

Ellen

Diana (Sorry couldnt resist)

Fern

Kimberley

Camilla Rose jumped straight to the front of my mind no idea why...!

You (imo) almost need quite a short / punchy middle name to balance out Camilla as it's 3 syllables. Like maybe: Jane, Sara/a, Alice etc etc.

Think it has to be something classical, Camilla Mary, Camilla Margaret...

I went to school with a Camilla in the 80's and she was a gorgeous creature.

Camilla Diana would be funny though :o

Camilla May
Camilla Rose
Camilla Grace

I also think that with a first name that long, a short middle name works well

Full house!

Sorry I couldn't help it

I have a bit of a thing about May, Rose and Grace being the default middle names of our time - and there they are all together!

They're all really nice names, to be sure, but very, very popular indeed as middle names.

Camilla Helen
Camilla Margaret
Camilla Frances

Camilla Eve
There is a beautiful young American actress called Camilla Belle which I think is a lovely name. Think a short middle name would be best.

thanks so much everyone. lowrib, i agree with you, exactly what i thought too and too many friends have those kind of names as middle names. feels unoriginal. it does need to be a one syllable name though I think. I love camilla belle (my fave at this time) but DH is not keen. Maria could be an option.

My Camilla is Camilla Rose, and I do love the way it sounds (I know it's v v popular as a middle name but I kept trying to think of others and none of them sounded as nice in my head!). But I do also really like Camilla Mary.

its got to be Rose after reading this

Camilla Louise

Yes I like the sound of Camilla Rose too. My second choice would be Camilla Jane, and I'm in agreement with those that say it should be a short one-syllable name.
