We've whittled it down to two names! Which do you prefer?

Clara
Camille

DD1 is Orla :) (Not fussed about keeping siblings in the Irish category)

Judging by MN, Clara seems to be rapidly gaining in popularity.
I prefer Camille

Clara

I think Camille will be murdered in too many UK accents

Both beautiful. Always loved Clara. Such a lovely old name.

She could always be Clarabelle on paper if you need it to be different from Orla. Good luck with it all.

Clara.

Oh I love Camille! Such a beautiful name.

Clara is also very lovely, but I that Orla and Clara, or Clara and Orla is a bit of a mouthful. I think Camille works better with Orla.

Thank you all for your thoughts! Seems like Clara has the majority! X

Yes, my vote is for Clara, but if you were willing to change Camille to Camilla I would vote for Camilla.

I can see why it's a tough choice, they're both absolutely lovely! Wink

Thank you all so much! I think we will go for Clara. The more I think about it the more I love it. It is a bit of a mouth full with Orla but I read an interesting POV that the girls will be together as siblings for such a short duration of their lives that it's not often they'll be paired together in this way. I will most likely refer to them as the girls when speaking about them both too.

Thanks everyone! Really appreciate you all taking the time to give me your opinions xx

I prefer Camille. I'm less keen on Camilla, but like Camille.

Twixtmasjigsaw · 07/01/2025 09:13

Camille is beautiful...

Both are lovely but Camille goes better with Orla.
