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.

Camilla of the 2 imo i am rather put off by Cosy as a nm

Cosima is nice but Cosy isn't. Mimi is better. And Cosima will get mispronounced a lot.

Camilla is nice too (though Camille is much nicer!) but I actually don't think Mila is the most obvious NN of it. I think she'd get Millie or Cammie as soon as she started school.

Also I'm squarely middle class and no one I know calls their kids names like Cosima. It's posh.

Thank you all! Seems like Camilla is the favourite. Dh has italian roots, and Camilla in Italian is pronounced cam-meel-la hence the Mila nickname.

Middle names would be:

Camilla Gaia Augusta

Or

Cosima Gaia Augusta

I do prefer Cosima with Gaia and Augusta but I know the first name is what really counts more

I really like both !
Sorry, I'm no use ! Maybe see what she looks like?

Camilla is lovely. Cosy is too twee. I thought Cosima was pronounced coz-im-ah too.

I'm not wild about Camila but nn Milla is lovely. I prefer Cosima but not keen on Cosy as nn. Simi? Sima? Mima?

Or Imma as nn for Cosima. Imma is pretty.

Cosima is pronounced COSS-im-a. I’ve heard anglicised pronunciations which stress and extend the second syllable, cos-EE-ma.

Camilla is lovely.

I like both names.

I wouldn’t give a child three names all ending in “a” though. And the flow of three syllables, one syllable, three syllables has an awkward flow. Could you swap Gaia for something else?

I’d say Cosima as ‘co-zimmuh’
I don’t like it

I don’t like Camilla either (too Parker-Bowles)

Camilla is best out of the two
