What do you think about Cambelle for a girl? Spelling?

I think Campbell is OK, but I would only use this spelling. Since it is a common and well-known surname, it's best to stick with the traditional spelling to avoid confusion.

I also like Camille, which has a similar sound but I think is prettier.

Campbell is cute. Cambelle is not, imo. A strange spelling would just complicate your daughter's life. Campbell is one of those names, like Harper and Mackenzie, that is often assumed to be a girl name, anyway. It doesn't need any embellishment to make it feminine--if any name ever does !

Is that supposed to be Campbell? If so, I'd spell it as such.

I think you should use the traditional spelling - Campbell

Campbell is okay... not my style and seems very heavy to me, but it's not horrible. Cambelle, on the other hand, IS horrible. It looks like a misspelling of Campbell or possibly pronounced cam-BELL. Not really sure where you found that one...

Sorry, I don't really like it for a girl. I like Campbell for a boy.

In all honesty, I just don't like it. I think she would be the butt of so many Campbell's soup jokes, it would not be fun. I also think she might be mistaken for a boy sometimes, but that isn't so bad. I just don't like the name really.
