Wow, Zoe Camille is so lovely and exotic! It has a completely different feel to it than the names of the sibs. You've stated before that your mom didn't care for Zoe. Was she called Camille growing up? I can't decide which name I like better, lol.

No, she was never called Camille and she hated Camille as much as she did Zoe and was never too happy about anyone finding out that Camille was her middle name.
I think the fact that she had hated having a then-unusual name is the very reason that she gave her children then-popular names that are now dated and seem pretty boring next to her name.
My mother's experience has made me aware that not everyone likes having an unusual name. As much as I always advocate against using very popular names, her experience has also made me not advocate for the highly unusual. Some people would rather blend in.
