Camille is lovely. Camie is not. Resist the urge to shorten, Camille doesn't need to be any shorter.

That's Camilla, dummy.

Camille would be lovely! I much prefer over Camilla. I have a very French last name/heritage and my parents chose English as opposed to French names. I think that is a fine route to take, but I do think that French first names (or versions of names) sound nicer with French last names, more fluid.

I have no clue who you’re talking about.

Camille is a beautiful name. I say go for it!

I know your going to try for Camie, but my guess is she’ll be Cam.

OP here Ndola Cam would be fine. I was just worried about sounding affected.

What? I don’t even understand what the issue is.

Personally I love Delphine as well. But alas I am a brown woman married to a non-French guy so my non-existent girl will never be named Delphine.

I'd consider it anyway or use it for a middle.

My dad is French descent and grew up in a French- immigrant town in Northern Michigan with a very French last name and he shared your concern in naming us. He didn’t want a name, as he said, that was like Pepe La Pew! So we all have English first names.

That said, Camille isn’t “too French” and I think my dad is a little nuts!

Lovely!

Camille is very nice! I have met many non French Camilles. I think it's perfectly fine with a French last name.

Beautiful.
