I like the nn [name]Cami[/name].

[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]/[name]Camila[/name]

Which is your favorite?

[name]How[/name] do you pronounce them? And do you think people would have a difficult time pronouncing them?

I say [name]Camilla[/name] “cah mil ah” and [name]Camille[/name] almost like “cah meey” (not sure how to explain it but the “l” is still there in French, just almost silent, I would probably say it “cah meel” to a [name]Camille[/name] in the States. I have a friend names [name]Camille[/name] (cah meel) here and no one has issues prn her name if that makes you feel better.

[name]Edit[/name]: I found a prn

I like [name]Camilla[/name]. it’s one of my faves, with the nn [name]Milla[/name]. I pronounce Kah mee Lah. [name]Camille[/name] is pretty too. I know a [name]Camille[/name] that goes by [name]Millie[/name]. I think the name is known well enough that u don’t have to worry about people not saying it correctly.

I like both. I prefer [name]Camille[/name] as a MN, and [name]Camilla[/name] as a FN ([name]Olivia[/name] [name]Wren[/name] [name]Camille[/name] is on my own list!). I say [name]Camille[/name] as kuh-MEEL and [name]Camilla[/name] as kuh-MILL-ah. [name]Cami[/name] is cute.

Good luck!

I prefer [name]Camilla[/name]. I pronounce it cah-mee-lah. I know a [name]Camila[/name] who goes by [name]Mimi[/name].

I like [name]Camilla[/name] / [name]Camila[/name] better over [name]Camile[/name]

English [name]Camilla[/name] =kah-[name]MIL[/name]-ah
Spanish [name]Camila[/name] = kah-MEEL-lah
English [name]Camille[/name] = kah-MEEL
French [name]Camille[/name] = kah-MEE (with a slight y sound at the end)

I prefer romantic [name]Camille[/name] to the frilly [name]Camilla[/name]. [name]Prince[/name] [name]Charles[/name]'s wife [name]Camilla[/name] has tainted the name for me.

[name]Camille[/name] = cah-meel
[name]Camila[/name] = cah-mee-lah
[name]Camilla[/name] = cah-mil-ah

I like [name]Camille[/name] better but none are my style.

I prefer [name]Camille[/name] (kuh-meel). It sounds so cultured and beautiful Its actually on my top ten list. I don’t think people find it hard to pronounce… But I do dislike the nickname [name]Cami[/name], it just reminds me of the bartender in Coyote Ugly. She was not a good role model, haha.

I like [name]Camille[/name] best, myself. [name]Camilla[/name] is beautiful, but seems a bit more awkward.
