I need you guys' help. We have a 4 year old daughter named Sydney. We are expecting boy/girl twins in a few weeks, but because of PTL it could be any day now. We have decided the boy's name will be Jake, but there is trouble concerning the girls name.
My husband ADORES the name Camille. He wants to shorten it to Cami. For the past few weeks or so I have said "if it means that much to you we can call her that." But deep inside I just don't really like that name. It isn't a BAD name, but it just isn't my "style" and I don't think it goes well with Sydney. I like names that are a little different. I have tried and tried to get used to it and accept it, but I am just really having a hard time, especially since delivery is getting so close.
At this point do I just go with Camille because my husband loves it so much, or do we really need to talk about this some more? I just don't know if this is something that is worth arguing about, especially since I don't HATE the name. It just doesn't sit well, you know?
By the way, the middle name will be Grace after my grandma. That one is for sure! ;)
PLEASE, PLEASE any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! I have no one else to talk to about this!!!!
Thanks so much!

Hi, Michelle!
I think it's worth talking to your DH about again! This is your child's name that you will bless her with for the rest of her life! Make it one you both LOVE LOVE LOVE equally. :-)

I think Camille is lovely, but if it's the nickname your dh loves, maybe there are other routes to it that would be more your style. I love Camilla, or I think Cameron/Camryn goes quite well with Sydney. My dh and I are struggling to find the perfect name right now too - but I think it is out there!
I casually mentioned it to him last night, and he said he would start thinking of other names, but he looked really disappointed. We'll have to see what happenes.
Thanks again, you guys are great!
I am glad you talked to you DH again about the name issue. You mentioned that you thought his feelings were hurt, how about a compromise????
You could come up with another first name that you both like and use Camille as a second name and then if you change your mind later on.....she could still go by Cami.
I think a beautiful name would be Jordyn Camille.....and it goes with Jake and Sydney.
My daughters are Rebecca Leigh (Becca) and Brittany Jade
Good Luck with whatever choices you make......
