Have managed to narrow it down to these two, but have reached total stalemate when trying to make a final decision. Only a few weeks left to go so need some advice!

Camilla May - what do you think?!

Lyds3 · 02/05/2010 19:19

I really like that actually, nice and simple and goes well with our surname. Thanks!

Romilly - I'm biased as we have one. diddl said it sounds masculine - it was a boys' name (Welsh painter Augustus John had a son named Romilly) mostly used for a girl these days, though.

Camilla Jane
Camilla Skye
Camilla Pearl

OK, my husband (who studied astrophysics and is a bit of a space geek - i mean that in the nicest possible way) has just announced that he really likes the name Estella because of it's connection to stars etc. So now a bit confused again (told you i'm indecisive). Any thoughts on Estella?

Estella is a lovely name Prefer it to Camilla and Romilly.

Great name - literary name, too - from Great Expectations.

Baby now arrived and is called Camilla Rose, though big brother Archie calls her 'Poneena' which is quite funny! Thanks for all the comments! x

Romilly = Romiley to me too I'm afraid. Less of an issue if she never goes to Greater Manchester, but I don't think you can predict that!

Camilla =Parker Bowles, but I like Milla as nn v much.

freerangeeggs · 27/07/2010 11:25

Romilly. It's very pretty with good nickname possibilities.

Camilla is all PB for me too, unfortunately. I find it difficult to divorce the name from the associations, so I can't look at it objectively.

Having said that, if I met a cute little Camilla I might change my mind

freerangeeggs · 27/07/2010 11:26

OP: Didn't see your message! Camilla Rose is a wonderful name - well chosen!!

The thought of a baby Camilla is making me reconsider it now...
