Amelie vs Camilla

Between Amelie and Camilla
Which do you prefer?
Thanks!

Love them both.
Amelie is prob more common -don't know if that concerns you.
I love the name Camilla also but feel like it might still be is the associated with Camilla Parker Bowles, if that bothers you. Also love the name Camille.

Camilla!

Camilla. But I think Camille is nicer again.
Amelie is very bland and boring - blends into the hordes of Amelias.

Amelie, it's lovely.

I find Amelie borimg too, and Amelia a bit too much of a doll's name.
Camilla is lovely but there is CPB. Camille is lovely - I would pronounce it Cam-eel.
Milly is overused and the Camillas I know get called Cam.

I have a Camilla and think it’s a lovely name. When I first named her 10 years ago I did get a few comments (though none relating to CPB!) but it seems to becoming a more popular name.

Good luck!

Amelie to too popular imo.

Really like Camilla.

Both very beautiful. DD has a spelling variant of one of those as a middle name.

Amelie is a cool name

There are lots of Amelie's now those people that wanted to go Amelia and realised it was too popular.

I've literally never met or heard of a baby Camilla, and I only know of one in real life, besides Parker Bowles, an old friends wife - never met her in person

Chances are she'd be the only one in her school year, same can't be said for Amelie

Camilla is stunning, Amelie is bland with overuse now.

Camilla

I like both but would choose Camilla. It's less popular and I like its stronger sounds.

I don't know why people think Amelie is so popular, it was only number 74 in the UK last year

Camilla Parker Bowles

Camilla, hands down. It's a much classier and stronger name.

Camilla reminds me of a canary

1 Amelie in our school - 500 kids

DD (13) has a friend called Camilla. I did think CPB when I first heard it but DD does not have that association at all. Having met her friend I am now able to disassociate the name from CPB (who I don't particularly have strong views on anyway).

I think it is a lovely name and it is time to reclaim it.

Amelie

Camilla- very elegant and feminine. Amelie- very common!

Both gorgeous! Amalie is lovely and a break from the more popular Amelie. Camilla would be my choice though, with maybe nicknames Camille / Cam / Millie / Mila
Also agreed the CPB reference wouldn’t be an issue! What about Caroline ? Nickname Carrie/ Coco?

Amalie is yoonique

Have you factored in that Camilla Parker-Bowles will become hugely more prominent in public life once Prince Charles becomes king? Camilla is sufficiently unusual that most people would associate it with her (unlike Catherine for example) so you are likely to get lots of “like the queen/consort/whatever title she will have?). Up to you whether you and your child would be ok with that. Personally I’d avoid unless you are an ardent royalist.

Camilla.

Unless you’re French, Amelie sounds dreadful aloud.
