Choosing the Best Middle Name for Camila

Family Ties

Have you considered the name of a grandmother, sister, or aunt for your daughter’s middle name? Giving a family name to your child is a great way to honor a loved one or even carry on a family legacy.

Both my dad and my father-in-law have the middle name “William,” so it felt like the perfect name for our son to carry on.

If there’s not an obvious choice, looking through your family tree is a great way to discover names of family members that you may love.

What name do you think sounds best with Camila? Which name would be most meaningful for your little girl? 

 

Special Places

How about a special place that your family loves?

A traditional family vacation spot or birthplace or city with lots of memories? One of my boys’ favorite places to go is a park near our home named Sarah Benson Park. There are many other places that would make great names for girls.

Some baby girls’ names inspired by places include London, Adelaide, Alexandria, Virginia, Sierra, Juno, Savannah, Victoria, Sydney, Regina, Odessa, Madison, Charlotte, Helena, Caroline, and Brooklyn.

Think back through your experiences and times at special places. Does anything come to mind as a possible middle name for Camila? 

 

Celebrity Names

Celebrity names don’t just have to mean movie stars. Do you have a favorite author, musician, speaker, or philanthropist? Someone who has inspired you or helped improve your life in some way?

Choosing a middle name for someone you admire is a great way to pay tribute to that person.

You may also find a creative way to choose a great middle name for Camila. For example, my friend heard the last name “Perrey” on a TV show and liked it for her little girl.

Sometimes last names can work well as middle names (which is why some women keep their maiden name as a middle name when they get married)! Many actors go by middle names as well, which shows just how powerful middle names can be!

 

Nature Inspired

Inspiration for names can be found everywhere, but nature is one of the best sources!

Is there a park, hiking trail, lake, or street name that inspires you? Do you have a favorite season? Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter are all sweet girls’ names.

Another idea is to choose a name inspired by space! Names like Astrid, Skylar, Ayla, Luna, Skye or Sunny are unique and beautiful middle names for Camila.

If you love nature, the elements, hiking, swimming, fishing, or being one with nature, then choosing a middle name that speaks to this aspect of your personality could be a special way to honor your love of nature. 

 

Favorite Books or Shows

Another option is to choose a name inspired by your favorite book or television show. This could be a great way to introduce your child to some of your favorite things.

Do you remember a time before on demand television and movies? I certainly do! Do you remember your favorites?

One of mine was the show Seventh Heaven, and the sisters were Lucy, Mary, and Ruthie. I liked these classic, biblical names for a long time.

Do you have shows or books that you read as a child or even recently that inspired you? The novel Where The Crawdads Sing introduced us to the name “Kya” as a nickname for Katherine.

Character names are a great inspiration for unique middle names!

 

Syllable Balance

When you’re considering middle names, one of the most important factors is how your middle name of choice fits with your first and last names.

Since Camila has three syllables, a short or long middle name could work well depending mostly on your last name.

For example, if your daughter’s last name will also be three or four syllables then you may want to choose a short middle name.

Consider Camilla Hope Pemberton over Camilla Victoria Pemberton. Both names can work just fine, but one tends to flow a little better!

When you say the full name aloud, are the syllables balanced? Do they flow well together? Common syllable pairings are 3:2:1, 2:1:2, 4:1:2, and similar variations. 

 

Cadence

Lastly, an important factor to consider is cadence!

Put simply, cadence is the flow or rhythm of a set of sounds or words. It’s that special thing that makes music and words and names sound pleasing or memorable to our ears.

Cadence can be achieved in many ways, including balancing syllables as we discussed above, but the best test is to say your daughter’s name aloud and see how it sounds with your potential middle name.

Does it flow and sound nice together? Does it sound happy and complete? Cadence will give your daughter’s name a special flair you’ll love!

Now, without further adieu, let’s consider some of the best middle name options for Camila!
