It sounds really pretty! I prefer this to Camille and Camilla, but those are nice names too. I like all flowery names, basically. I'd nickname her Mel, if she'd let me. Or Melly or Melia. The soft E is wonderful.

Camelia Entekhabifard (also Camelia E. Fard or Camelia Entekhabi-Fard, Persian: کاملیا انتخابی فرد, born 1973 in Tehran) is an Iranian journalist and author who now lives in New York City. Initially interested in poetry and painting, she became a journalist for the daily Zan. In 1999 she conducted research on women earning money in the Iranian city of Qom, a center for Shi'a scholarship and pilgrimage, by engaging in temporary marriage with pilgrims and religious scholars, in what she called a thinly veiled form of prostitution. This work resulted in her being imprisoned for 11 weeks in Towhid Prison. She moved to the United States and in 2001 wrote a piece in the Village Voice about these issues.

It definitely comes from the flower called "camelie". "Camila" in Romanian means "camel". So, no one would ever come up with a name inspired from there! But they can simply be analogy names.
