Name War over thanks to BERRIES SUGGESTIONS!

[name]Just[/name] wanted to post a long time coming decision from a thread I posted back in [name]October[/name] https://nameberry.com/nametalk/threads/110564-Anyone-up-for-a-CHALLENGE-%29.

My cousins are expecting a 3rd child in [name]April[/name], and at the time had no clue sex of baby. With boy named picked out they had the near impossible rules for another baby girl, consisting of HAD to start with C, HAD to end in A, HAD to have 3 syllables and HAD to have 6 letters to match with sisters [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Bianca[/name]. Mom loved [name]Claira[/name], Dad loved [name]Corsica[/name], so I reached out for help on compiling a list for them.

On Thanksgiving they announced that they were indeed expecting another girl and their LAST child… The Name War then became a reality. Dad admitted [name]Corsica[/name] was just a name that he knew would annoy Mom since she had set all the rules, he found the worst name to fit all categories. They stayed quite about names for a while, but I did give them the list and also suggested names outside of C since this will be their last child after all.

On [name]Christmas[/name] they announced that baby girl would in [name]April[/name] be named [name]Camilla[/name] [name]Rose[/name]! (suggested a few times by berries on my original thread!)

[name]Camilla[/name] is a blend of the two big sisters’ names which is what Mom was able to convince Dad with!

Thank you berries for all your suggestions, it really did help! Now awaiting [name]Camilla[/name]'s arrival (they mentioned back on Thanksgiving that they discussed having me be God Mother to baby, so here’s to hoping they do chose me!)

[name]Hope[/name] all of you had a wonderful holiday season!

  • [name]Jessica[/name]

[name]Amelia[/name], [name]Bianca[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name] are a lovely trio!

[name]Camilla[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is a beautiful name! Congratulations!

[name]Just[/name] one question… If the parents were set on the name having 6 letters, and this spelling has 7, why not [name]Camila[/name]? [name]Just[/name] wondering. I love the name, though!

Ultimately they didn’t want to give [name]Camilla[/name] a uniquely spelled name just because big sisters [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Bianca[/name] have 6 letters. Since [name]Camilla[/name] hits all other categories and both mom and dad [name]LOVE[/name] the name was enough of a triumph in itself! I do love the sib set [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Bianca[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name] <3

[name]Just[/name] an FYI - [name]Camila[/name] - with the single “l” is the 11th most popular name in [name]California[/name]. I mention this because it seems more popular than [name]Camilla[/name] - so the spelling might not be considered unique.
Oh, and congrats to your cousins - and good luck to you in the Godmother race :slight_smile:

gorgeous name! I love it! (and your name, [name]Jessica[/name], fits in with them as well!)

Thanks for this info! I will definitely pass it on when I see my cousins this weekend! Very good to know, but I think [name]Tanya[/name] (mom) is in love with the spelling [name]Camilla[/name]. But there is still plenty of time for changes! :slight_smile:
