I'm Claudia. I like my name and I like Camille too, though it feels different, doesn't it? I guess it's that je ne sais quoi.

I'm French, and it's a classic name in my country. I love it. We went with another name, but it was definitely in my top 3.

My 19 month old has this name. Her daycare owners are from Columbia so sometimes they call her Camilla. I think Camilla is more popular but we have a French background and love the French version. I love that it is simple and not common.

Love it!
It was on my list for current pregnancy but i couldn't use it because i already have a Lily. Didn't want a Lily and a Millie.

I love Camille but do not like Camilla. Camille is classic and lovely.

Someone has been watching Emily in Paris. Too trendy for me...

I mean if you have to say it with a really strong French accent, sure, but in some cases "Ll" is pronounced [ l ] after i -- about two dozen words (and their derivatives), including mille (thousand, un mille (mile), Gilles (boys name), etc. So while a French speaker may say Ca - mee -ya, an English speaker saying Ca- meel isn't wrong.

Named my only daughter this, so naturally I love it. Prefer Millie as a nickname, and hope she doesn't pick up Cami as [url]one.

I'm in Cali, where Camila is a top name, possibly due to a lot of spanish speakers. But for us, Camille made more sense. We don't pronounce it the french way, as we are not french speakers.

Kind of weird to pick a French name but then pronounce it wrong.

Are you one of those people that pronounce foreign cities in the local pronunciation, during causal conversation with other Americans?
