Camille or Cammie?

Stuck between [name_u]Camille[/name_u] or [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] as a first name, her second name is going to be [name_f]Mae[/name_f] so it’s either

Camille [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
or
[name_f]Cammie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

(I know [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] is a nickname for [name_u]Camille[/name_u] but I’m still considering it as a first name)

I personally would use [name_u]Camille[/name_u] on the birth certificate and nickname her [name_f]Cammie[/name_f]. [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] is sweet, but naming her [name_u]Camille[/name_u] would give her further options for when she is older.

Camille [name_f]May[/name_f] is lovely!

I definitely prefer [name_u]Camille[/name_u]. [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] is too informal to me but makes a sweet nickname for [name_u]Camille[/name_u].

Cammie sounds like a nickname. I would go with [name_u]Camille[/name_u], and call her [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] (or [name_f]Cami[/name_f]) as a nickname if you want.

I always picture names on resumes, wedding invitations, graduation announcements, business email signatures, etc. and I think [name_u]Camille[/name_u] works better in these scenarios.

Thank you so much, that makes perfect sense - coming to think of it [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] would sound a little too informal in certain circumstances :slight_smile:

Camille nn [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] as others have said is gorgeous. I think it’s lovely to give kids a ‘full’ name that sounds sophisticated for later life and in the work place and a nn that they can use as a kid or just in their everyday lives xoxo

I prefer [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] as just a nickname for [name_u]Camille[/name_u], a name I really love. But actually the [name_u]French[/name_u] pronunciation of [name_u]Camille[/name_u] is Ca-MEE , so you could totally use it and still call her [name_f]Cammie[/name_f]!

I usually like nicknames being used as full names, but I do prefer [name_u]Camille[/name_u] over [name_f]Cammie[/name_f].

Camille is gorgeous! And it’s a two-for-one choice, so you really can’t go wrong.
