Need Full name for nn "Cammie" (girl)...
| Mon, 07-05-2004 - 1:14pm |
My SIL is expecting a baby this fall. She's in love with the name Cammie if it's a girl, but she wants that as a nickname, not the given name. Her husband has nixed Cameron/Camryn and Camilla/Camille as the given names. Those are the only two full names we could come up with.
Their 2 year old son is named Carter. If this baby ends up being a boy it will be Camden or Caden. I think they're open to a name that's a little unusual, but not something that's way out there or made-up sounding. (I saw Camara in a baby name book and thought that would be perfect. SIL's best friend/cousin is named Tamara. However, then I said the name out loud...Camara = Camera.)
Do you ladies have any suggestions that I can pass along?

These are a stretch....
Camea,
Camaria,
Camella
Camyra,
Camalie
Instead of forcing the name... Why not make Cammie, Cameron, Camilla etc a middle name?

Camaya
(pronounced Ka-may-ya)
not "yeah" but "ya" ---as in "ya all come back now ya hear" :-)
the "ka" and "ya" have the same "a" sound

I like Camara...I would pronounce it
Kah-MAR-a. I think that's beautiful, and the nn Cammie would work quite well for that!
Another option: don't rack your brain looking for a name that begins with "Cam-", and wind up with a multitude of options that you like but just don't love and are just searching for something so you can use that nn.
I would suggest thinking of other names that start with "C", or even "Ca", and then what you can do is use a middle name that begins w/the letter "M", and use the nn Cammie b/c when you put the first syllables of the fn and the mn, that's what you come up with!
For example (and these are just examples, I don't know if you like these names...or even if I like them myself, lol...)

Just an idea....
Best of luck to you!
Good luck!
here's my suggestion - spell it Camarrah.
the other suggestion I liked was Camelia. I agree, that even tough it sort of sounds made up, I have heard it somewhere, I think maybe in a song. Could I be right about that?
I think those are the best two choices, the most feminine.
good luck.
