Camille - lovely or awful?

[abitlikemollflanders]

Pregnancy naming hormones going mad. Our daughter is due in 2 weeks and we can't agree on any names.
My husband loves Camille (nn Cammy) - I am warming to it but wondering whether I will regret it later?
Do you like it?

I absolutely love it... it was on my list for number 2 but it was vetoed by DH. I loved it then and I still love it. Incidentally, don't be swayed one way or the other by potential nns. I thought my DD2 would have a certain nn and it just never stuck. She gets something totally different and really suits it.

I really, really love it, I have 3dds and I thought long and hard about it for dd3. Chose something else for various reasons but like it so much would make me warm towards a possible dd4 . Good luck for upcoming birth.

I quite like it but... I never know whether to say Cam-ill, or Cam-eel and it bothers me when I'm not sure!

Beautiful.You must use it.

gorgeous!

Gorgeous! And not over used. Classically beautiful. We considered Cecile for DS if he was a girl which I think is similar. Actually might add Camille to list if i ever have a girl.

Its a lovely name but, I knew a horrible one so Im put off it but, thats just me!! It is going to get popular as there's a singer out called Camille and she is going to be big.

Love it, but please don't do nn Cammy- beautiful name, just use it

Lovely

Although, I know one baby named Camille and she is always called 'Mealy'

Please don't do that...

Beautiful.

My dd's middle name is Camille. It's a lovely name, but I do find it quite difficult to say, Camillllllllle.

I actually prefer Camilla but was vetoed by DH as a first name. There is a beautiful little girl at school with the name Camilla & I'm sure no one is thinking of the Duchess when they use her name.

There is a model called Camilla Belle & I always feel a bit wistful when I read her name.....

Agree with not shortening it though, people will assume dd's name is Cameron.

Camille is a boy's name where I live, but is equally beautiful as a girl's name, imo.

Oh wow! DH doesn't seem to have chosen to badly! I thought everyone was going to hate it/tell me it's chavvy.
RL opinion (MIL)might not think it's too bad then!

It has grown on me over the pregnancy and I think we will go with it. The more I say it the more beautiful it sounds to me. I don't really like NNs as a rule but DH keeps calling bump Cammy...-I think in an effort to win me round. It seems to have worked.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, they have been reassuring.

I love it but I have a Camille nn Cami, so I really hope you live nowhere near me! The reason we use Cami is that we pronounce our daughters name the French way so to most people it sounds like Cami.

I love Camille. It's a beautiful name.

Love it but hate the nn Cammy/Cami. If you use a lovely name like that don't shorten it.

Greyts, what is the French way ?

Love it.

Love it - and dont NN it!

Ka'mee (Ka'mi) as opposed to the English Ka'meel (Ka'mil)

I prefer Cecile.

Beautiful name. Really don't like Cammy though - way to ruin a truly lovely name. Sort of like shortening Isabelle to Izzy.

Awful. Parker Bowles to me.

Camille is nice. Not Cami/cammy though - too similar to camisole.
