Camilla or Cosima?

[Hellodaahling]

I love both so much, but just can’t decide!

Nicknames Mila or Cosy.

My only concern is Cosima is a bit less known so may have pronunciation issues.

I prefer Camilla, it makes a softer sound than Cosima. It's a very pretty name. Pity about the Parker Bowles association, but never mind there are probably better Camillas out there!

Also, Cosy? Are you sure about that? As in this room is warm and cosy etc?

Nigellas daughter is called Cosima and I think her nickname is Coco

Camilla NN Mila is lovely.

Cosima is nice also!

I love both. They are different names though. Cosima is much more unusual and you’d probably have many more comments (including some negative ones). Camilla is much more usual though still not too popular. If I used Camilla I’d make sure that I was ok with both Cam and Milly, as there’s no guarantee that Mila will stick.

Yes “cosy” like warm and cosy. I think it’s so cute.

I don’t mind cam or Millie, though Millie has become so overused due to the rise of Amelia/Emilia/Emily and Amélie so I much prefer Mila or Mimi over Millie.

Are you vair posh OP?

I really like Cosima. So pretty and interesting/memorable!

Camilla is ok but Millie is overused and dull imo.

Minnie would be the way I would shorten Cosima

I prefer Camilla.

Cosima is to much like a Zimmer frame. Cosima = Co Zimmer.

I love Camilla. It was on my list but I'd have used the nn Callie or Calla.
I'm not keen on Cosima.

I prefer Camilla. Very pretty name.

Cosima reminds me of swimming cossie
Not keen on Camilla. Do you mean Mila pronouncer milla or meela? Because I wouldn’t shorten camilla to “meela”

@Ceramide

I prefer Camilla.

Cosima is to much like a Zimmer frame. Cosima = Co Zimmer.

The only Cosima I know of is pronounced "Co-seema"

I think Nigella's daughter is known as Mimi.

I prefer Cosima of the two as Camilla is too Parker Bowles for me.

I would pronounce Cosima as Cosz-eema

A mixture of s and z sound

Yes I would like the mee-la pronunciation for Mila

I would pronounce Cosima as Cosz-eema

So would most people.

I've never heard it as Co Zimmer

They're both gorgeous. Cosima makes me think of Cosmos which would be okay as a nn. Camilla would also get Cami.

Just call her Mila

If someone pronounces zimmer as zimmah I can see where they're coming from. I wouldn't pronounce the name as co-zee-ma, more like coz-immah.

Cosima makes me think of cozzy as in ‘swimming cozzy’ but I like that it’s different. I prefer the sound of Camilla.

If someone pronounces zimmer as zimmah

Cosima is beautiful

Thank you for all the comments. It seems that Camilla is more of a crowd pleaser, though I know sometimes it can also be pronounced as cam-meel-la. Camilla PB connection doesn’t bother me. Cosima may be a bit too out there…though I do adore it
