My H and I are going between two names. He prefers Audrey, I prefer Camille. I like with Camille, you have the option of using less formal NN’s like Cami or Mille. Audrey is so pretty but there’s not really a NN and sounds so formal. MN for any name we use will either be Claire or Elizabeth. I’m also open to other options that are similar to our top two first name choices.

You can’t go wrong, but I voted Audrey Claire.

I like both Audrey and Camille, but I know a few young Audreys and Aubreys, so I voted for Camille. I haven’t met anyone named Camille and it’s a beautiful name.

I prefer Audrey. I don't think it sounds formal but that's because it makes me think of my aunt Audrey who is the least formal person I know.

They’re both beautiful but I like Camille more than Audrey.
However, I wouldn’t let lack of nicknames stop you from using Audrey. Lots of people don’t have nicknames or they have a nickname that isn’t directly from their given name.
Your love of the given name overrules the nickname potential.

You could NN Audie if you wanted to, Like Audie Cornish on NPR. Or Ree?
I love Audrey and I don't think it's formal sounding. Camille honestly sounds more formal to me as a full name.

I prefer Audrey and I chose Claire as the middle because I think Elizabeth is a way more popular choice.

I loooove Camille, so that got my vote. I prefer Elizabeth over Claire with it unless Claire has more familial significance.

Audrey Claire is the name of a popular restaurant in Philly.
I prefer Audrey over Camille. I do like Camilla more than either, though.
I prefer Claire as a middle name over the predictable Elizabeth.
So there it is.

I like Camille better but both are nice names. I think either MN would go with each name.

Lovely choices! I picked Camille Elizabeth. I also love Claire. I like the nickname Millie a lot!

I love Camille or Camilla because they are a little less popular. Agree with honeylemon, don't put too much stake in nicknames. My legal name is a shortened version of a name (example Jen) and my dad called me a ton of different things that were related to my interests like Swimmy, Jive Turkey, etc. and my friends in college all called me my variant of J.Lo haha |
