I for one prefer Camille. For me too the association with Prince Charles' wife is too strong. I can't think of nothing else when I hear Camilla. Plus I think Camille flows a bit better, has a softer sound to it.

I've always loved Camilla; however, I recently acquainted myself with a lovely girl named Camille, and she's inspired my fondness for the name.

I prefer Camilla.

---

Despite the association. I think it's gorgeous!

Camille is nice too but I can never get "meal worm" out of my head when I say it! I do think it's pretty though.

Camilla is my mothers name and I prefer that one in Swedish, in english however I think Camille looks and sounds best.

Ooo, I like both, and also Camellia.

Camille is lovely and elegant whereas Camilla seems more frilly and feminissima, simply for that additional 'A', I think. To me, Camilla seems more regal and whimsical while Camille is more down-to-earth and practical.

The Duchess of Cornwall association doesn't bother me since I like her, but what it does make me think of is the novel by Frances Burney.

I love and prefer Camille!

She is soft yet strong and very beautiful. Iagree that Camille is very hard to find a middle name for. My two favorites are Camille Eloise and Camille Evangeline.

Also, I tend to not care for -illa- names just because my warped mind always rhymes them with Gorilla.

I prefer Camilla over Camille. I find it easier to pick suitable middle names for Camilla. I don't know if this is correct or not, but I pronounce Camilla (Cuh-mill-uh) and Camille (Cuh-meal). Camilla just sounds better to me, with the way I'm pronouncing them at least.
