What do you think of Camille?

[deliakate]

I love this name, and I think DH is coming round. (He would have the name on the condition the nn is Lily, but we can work on that bit.)

Have been going off the name a bit since I've heard of a few French men called Camille, and also Kamil on Eastenders (the Masood's baby) is pronounced the same, and I'm worried people will think that's how you spell the name/where I got it from.

What does mn think???

I love it.It's beautiful.

I thought it was a feminine name in France too,though I'm judging solely by a few French films that I've seen.

I'm afraid to say my first thought was camel.

Would you consider Camilla?

Lovely, and Mila is a lovely nn, (nicer than Lily imo) I like Camilla too, despite the Parker Bowles woman.

I think it is a boy's name.

Camilla is pretty.

We had a lovely au pair called Camille, she was the best, so I love the name

In German Kamille is camomile, so I'm not keen. Camilla is better imo.

Do like Camilla too.

Don't mind about the camomile.

But camel.... Our surname is Thomas. So would you automatically think Camel Toe, onimolap. Oh no.

Like Camilla, Camille and Camomile - but not carmel.

My friend is called Camille. She iseither known as Camille or Cam.

AFAIK she never had any problems with the name when growing up.

i prefer Camille to Camilla.

Also - I think boys version - especially Kamil is pronounced a bit harsher, almost more emphasis on the "K" sound, whereas girls version is just kind of lulled together into the "ka" sound.... IYSWIM

deliakate - I probably wouldn't because to me it's a new-fangled term that wouldn't automatically come to mind. But now you come to mention it...... It probably depends on your local accent.
