Camilla - will people shorten it?

[PeterPipersPepper]

Thinking of the name Camilla. Is it likely to be shortened? Or will people assume to use the full name?

I have known a Mills.

I know 2. One Milly one Cam.

It's always weird to see your name come up and to see your nickname described as wet

As an adult I really like my name but I've been Milly / Mills for so long that it doesn't resonate as my identity at all.

I wish I'd gone with milla though, that's much cooler!

More likely that she will shorten it herself. I know Millas, Millys and Cams.

@kenaddams

I know a Milla who has always been called that, but has Camilla on her birth certificate.

I know a Camilla who is 100% Camilla with no nicknames

All the Camilla I have ever met have been full name by most people but occasionally Milla by friends/family.

I know 3. One is always Camilla, one is Milly, one is Cams.

Camel is brilliant
But sadly Milla is probably going to be what she is actually called

I actually only know two Camillas. One is a Millie and I didn’t even realise she was called Camilla until I happened to see her driving licence, and the other is Cam.
All names have the potential to be shortened, some more so than others but I think that there’s a strong possibility Camilla will be shortened, one way or another.

I know one - she is Camilla but people who know her well often call her Milly.

I think it's a great name. Camilla is so grown up, Mila is cool, Milly is joyful and playful. A really adaptable name to suit different stages of life.

I only know one - from East Europe. Always called by her full name. It’s a great name. I rather like Cam as a nickname. Much less keen on Millie.
