Camille?

If you saw the name [name_f]Camille[/name_f], how would you pronounce it? I would pronounce it Cuh-meal. To me that seems like the most natural way to pronounce that spelling but maybe I’m wrong? Many reviews I read on Behind the Name seemed to not like the name because of difficulties pronouncing it. I think it’s pretty and would probably use [name_f]Cami[/name_f] as a nickname. Although, maybe it’s not the best name for me because I tend to stick towards names that are easy to pronounce and spell.

I’d pronounce it the same way you do. I believe that’s the traditional way to pronounce it. I feel it’s well-known enough to be spelled and pronounced correctly by 99% of people.

Yeah I agree Cuh-meal
Can’t think of other pronunciations - cam-eeel?? [name_u]Cam[/name_u]-ill?? Doesn’t seem likely.

I really like it, even more with nickname [name_f]Cami[/name_f]

I have only every heard [name_f]Camille[/name_f] pronounced the way you pronounce it. [name_f]Camila[/name_f], on the other hand, does have multiple pronunciations. Both names are popular in my area and I know a young [name_f]Camila[/name_f] who pronounces her name Cuh-MILL-uh and runs into difficulties.

I’ve also only ever heard [name_f]Camille[/name_f] pronounced that way.
