I really love the name Camilla but I'm worried it sounds awful with our surname. Are they just go similar?

Yes they are, sorry

Vixxfacee · 15/10/2016 11:08

Why?

rainbowstardrops · 15/10/2016 11:11

Too similar in my opinion, sorry.
I've just sat here saying Canilla Miller really fast several times and it just made me chuckle.
Go for it if you really love it but she'll get teased to high heaven!

rainbowstardrops · 15/10/2016 11:12

Camilla Not Canilla.

MadAsABagOfCats · 15/10/2016 11:13

It's a bit too similar.

BreatheDeep · 15/10/2016 11:13

Made me laugh when I read it. I personally wouldn't.

Friolero · 15/10/2016 11:15

You really can't use Camilla with Miller, it sounds ridiculous together (sorry)

Wayfarersonbaby · 15/10/2016 11:16

Oh no, I wouldn't. Sorry, OP. Poor kid would have years at school of people chanting her name. Could you get it in a middle name spot? eg. Hannah Camilla Jane Miller or similar?

gettingtherequickly · 15/10/2016 11:21

No, not with your surname sorry.

Caipira · 15/10/2016 11:23

No not with Miller. How about Camille?

Meeep · 15/10/2016 11:24

What about Carmel instead?

Move2yorkshire · 15/10/2016 11:25

Thank you. You've all confirmed what I was thinking.

Any opinions on Antigone or Theodora?

I'd go with Theodora Smile

PotatoBread · 15/10/2016 11:46

Theodora is nice.

CannotEvenDeal · 15/10/2016 11:47

Love love love Theodora

SirChenjin · 15/10/2016 11:47

Theodora is lovely

allegretto · 15/10/2016 11:48

Antigone is setting her up for a lifetime of people saying Anti - gone.

Friolero · 15/10/2016 13:53

I like Theodora

Haffdonga · 15/10/2016 14:00

Agree, not Camilla.

Think through abbreviations she'll end up with for the other two names. Theodora can be Teddy, Thea, Dora (all lovely) but Antigone doesn't really shorten (Anti? Gonny? Actually Tiggy would work.)

Chinlo · 15/10/2016 14:02

Theodora is muuuch nicer than Antigone.

Loyly · 15/10/2016 14:05

Theodora is great.

No, absolutely not Camilla! Is Camille an option?

I don't think any name ending in '-a' sounds good with Miller, I'm afraid.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/10/2016 17:47

How about Carmen Miller, could still call her Cammie !

Move2yorkshire · 15/10/2016 19:41

I don't think I like Carmen. Or Camille.
Other names we have considered are Astrid, Elizabeth and Emmeline
