Due my second daughter in 6 weeks. My partner did not want this baby, as its too close to our daughter who will be 15 months old. If I kept the baby, we left his house were the rules, so that's what we did.

There are 4 names which all have special meaning relating to the circumstances and that I love, but for the life of me I can't decide which I like best for a first name, I'd like to use one if not two of the others as a middle name . Can anyone help come up with the perfect name combination?

Names are:

Camille
Eve or Eva
Thea

If it helps, my other daughters name is Orlagh x

Thea Camille or Eva Camille would flow beautifully, and Thea is a bit more unusual than Eva at the moment.

Your ex is a twat of the highest order.

How are you pronouncing Camille? I say it with a "mill" sound at the end, like Camilla without the a. But I hear some people say it like "meal", which I really dislike (of course in French they don't even say the last L, so I don't know where it comes from).

Eve is beautiful and timeless and strong and sweet and underused.

I wouldn't worry about flow. Names are so rarely said together like that.

Eva Camille is a nice combination.

I think Eva goes well with Orlagh.

Sorry you have been treated so badly by a man who apparently saw contraception as someone else's responsibility. Wishing you all good things as you grow your little family.

So hard to choose!
I think they are all lovely
Good luck to you OP Flowers

@Emz555 did you post about him saying that at the time? If you did, well done for moving out, he was a complete twat! If that wasn't you, he's a twat anyway!!

I think Camille Eve is the nicest combination. I think Camille is the best 'equal' name with Orlagh too.

I hope you're choosing names YOU love, not names that you think, will have him crawling back to you lamely apologising for being such a nasty bastard!!

Thea Eve is beautiful x

IamThegreaterMole · 05/12/2022 23:35

Camille Thea Eve

Camille is so lovely.
Camille Thea is a very pretty combination.
If using all three names I'd use Camille Thea Eve.

Camilla Eve

Congratulations. Sorry you are having such a rough time. I hope things get better soon.

Eve
Best of luck for delivery & life with your daughters 💐

Jessbow · 07/12/2022 20:19

Good luck- bestrong for your girls

I think Camille is beautiful on its own. Stops a bit dead for a second name.
Camilla eve flows better

Camille is beautiful. I love it and she could also go by Cami or Milly both of which are also lovely.

Orlagh and Camille also sound interesting and lovely together.

I would choose Camille Thea or Camille Eva Thea

Cleopatra67 · 07/12/2022 21:25

All lovely but prefer Eva to Eve. What an arsehole your partner is.

Choconut · 07/12/2022 21:29

Eva Camille runs best, but Camille is much nicer than Eve/Eva IMO. I'd have Camille first and then think of a different second name.

Jeschara · 08/12/2022 21:51

Camille Eve, lovely name.
