Sister for Camille

Hello! We are looking for a baby girl name for our baby due in December. Our first daughter is Camille. So far our options are:

Gigi (either as a full name or shorted from Giselle, Genevieve or Gia)
Estelle
Amelie
Maeve (or Maeva)
Matilda

Would love to hear people’s thoughts.

If it helps, we are English :)

Camille is a beautiful name!
Gigi would go beautifully

You posted this a few weeks back and got lots of responses- why are you posting the same thing again?

My last post was specifically about the name Gigi, this provides our other considerations.

Love both Camille and Gigi. What about Marianne, Sylvie, Honor, Isolde, Viola, Beatrice, Xanthe or Iris.

I love Genevieve. Few other ideas -

Emmeline
Bridget
Felicity
Beatrice
Faye

TheeNotoriousPIG · 11/11/2026 21:29

I like Matilda, Maeve and Amelie. I like Genevieve as a full name.

Gigi - awful
Giselle - Jizzelle
Genevieve - not keen
Gia - Ja? No
Estelle - joke car in the 1980s. Estella is better especially if you have great expectations for her
Amelie - not keen. Emily is better
Maeve (or Maeva) - don't like them
Matilda - yes

Not keen on Gigi - it doesn't sound as classy as Camille.

Matilda I like.

One name I think should come back into fashion - Claire.

Google AI suggested Eloise which is very pretty.

Florence!

Beautifulsunflowers · 12/11/2026 06:54

Out of your choices I live Matilda best.
Gigi seems to be a nn rather than a full name and I’m not keen on your longer versions
Camille is pretty and Estelle is nice but with the double LL seems quite similar.

my suggestions
Harriet
Beatrice
Caroline
Isobel
Florence
Clara
Juliet

I love Camille and Estelle. They go beautifully together and yet they're different enough not to be matchy-matchy.

Gigi - fine as a nickname, not as full name.
Giselle - pretty, classic
Genevieve - I like this one, it's not common
Gia - no, too short and not nice sounding
Estelle - prefer Estella
Amelie - much prefer Amelia
Maeve (or Maeva) - No, just no
Matilda - don't like it and its become common very quickly

I thought Amélie before reading your list

I also like Esmée and Margaux
