I wouldn't put Lucy after Camilla, the 'l' sounds make it clumsy to say.

Sophie is lovely

importantkath · 22/02/2019 12:27

I think the opposite of Greensleeves.

I think Sophie is overused but love the sound of Lucy

ZenNudist · 22/02/2019 12:29

I like Camilla Sophie.

Was going to call dd1 camilla grace but turned out to be ds2!

Camilla Catherine Charlotte Meghan Sarah Beatrice Eugenie Sophie. HTH.

Camilla Lucy Josette is lovely

meow1989 · 22/02/2019 12:33

Could you just have Camilla josetteq?

daisypond · 22/02/2019 12:35

Both are fine. I'd go with whichever you prefer.

Nairobiblue · 22/02/2019 13:26

Could you change it to Sophia as that goes with Camilla better. No to Lucy imo.

Not a fan of both first and second name ending in "a" though...

Would you consider Camille instead of Camilla?

LMDC · 22/02/2019 16:17

Lucy doesn't sounds right with the l's in Camilla, so I vote Sophie. I agree with a PP that Sophia sounds better with Camilla than Sophie and I don't think it looks or sounds odd with the first two names ending in A.

Cookit · 22/02/2019 16:32

I think Sophie but both are fine.

I really like Camilla.

Sophie

Marmite27 · 22/02/2019 16:36

The lead in the last book I read was called Josette. I’d never heard it before.

Pemba · 22/02/2019 17:05

Camilla Sophie flows better like pps said. I quite like Lucy too, but there would be too many 'l's close together.

Camilla Sophie. Camilla Sophia does not go, the double a sounds ridiculous imo

AdaColeman · 22/02/2019 22:54

Camilla Lucy works best, it's a beautiful combination.

Sophie is hugely popular already, also I wouldn't use two royal names together.

Sophronia · 22/02/2019 23:08

Sophie

MercyBodle · 22/02/2019 23:12

Camilla Sophie Josette is lovely and works best. I do also like Lucy but feel the 'l's don't work as well together.

DramaAlpaca · 22/02/2019 23:14

Sophie

Happyandglorious · 23/02/2019 19:00

Think Sophie has the edge bc it flows nicer. But both lovely.
Love the name Camilla!
Congrats and good luck
