I really love this name and the duchess has no effect on my choice.

Personally, I like Camille better than Camilla, but both are awesome. :)

A lovely name. Both my mum and I love this name. I think it's silly that some people don't use it because of the Duchess of Cornwall. She actually a really nice person. Camilla... it sounds so clever, polite and friendly.

I have only known one person with this name, but she pronounced it CAM-il-la. She went by Cammie anyways.

In Denmark there are just so many Camillas. It's so overused, you can't imagine. It's quite pretty, but not that pretty. I'm glad my name is not Camilla!

My name is Cammie, but a lot of people call me Camilla. As a young girl I hated my name and wished I could change it. But now that I am older I think it is a more wise and adult-like name. I think the name is very pretty! You will definitely grow on the name. And in the U.S. I myself have never ever met another Cammie or Camilla so I'm guessing that not that many people have the name. =]

I love this name because of the associations with a character in the novel "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt. Camilla McCaulay is decribed as a young woman with a face "as sweet, as grave as a Flemish angel." She has light brown hair that "blends into honey at the temples" and iron gray eyes. The narrator remarks that looking at her in the sunlight he is reminded of the passage in the (Iliad?) "about Pallas Athene and the terrible eyes shining." Sorry, my passage is from memory and not exact, but you get the idea. Love the name and the character. Highly recommend the book as well.

I love this name! I know 2 Camilla's. I love this name, because they are both sweet and because the name itself is very sweet.

Overused in Norway too.

Today in Italy Camilla is rather popular, without being overused. It ranks 22nd of the most popular names in 2004. It was not much used in the 20th century.

-- presentperfect  12/19/2008

The Italian pronunciation is not kah-MEEL-ah but kah-MEELL-lah.

-- presentperfect  12/19/2008

It's such a beautiful name. I love Milla (mee-la) as a nickname for Camilla.

-- Ailis  7/3/2009

Camilla is a pretty name, but there aren't that many people with it. It's a really long name and it took my sister forever to learn to write her name. We call her Cammie for short sometimes. :]
