About the Name Camila

The name Camila's root letters are CML.

When the crisply concise letter C initializes a name, it’s usually associated with someone with a clean-cut and well-defined personality. But there’s more to the CML names than mere simplicity. It’s true that CML personalities have the cutting edges and canny minds associated with the letter C, but the maternally merciful letter M and lyrically loving letter L moderates these names with an exceptionally feminine and womanly charm -- evoking the flowery image one associates with youthful innocence. Lurking under the veneer of a dry wit and a sharp intelligence, is a doe-eyed creature who is incapable of hurting anyone’s feelings even to protect her own.

The key to the CML’s personality is most evident when she’s chiding someone for splurging on an expensive new car, or for playing golf instead of going to the office. To the casual observer, her rebuke may sound like nagging, but those in the know recognize her motivation to be of genuine maternal interest – the same quality that keeps her up late baking pies to deliver to a sick friend. That’s why the best careers for Camilas are those in the nurturing fields: nursing, catering, teaching or social work.

The CML’s down-to-earth qualities have the side-effect of letting people know where they stand in no uncertain terms. If there’s any argument or discussion to be had, she’ll be the first to broach the subject, and even if her bluntness leaves a few bruised egos here and there, she’s not going to stop talking until she’s sure that you’ve understood her point. So it’s best to keep your mouth shut in the face of a CML’s lecture and act like it’s the most sensible thing you’ve ever heard. Just remember that she really believes she knows what’s best for you. She’s no dummy either; she’s giving you advice because she’s been there and done that, and is sincerely trying to save you from the same hard lessons.

As mates, Camilas are legendary for standing by their men. For them, settling down to marriage and raising children is a logical step in their life processes. They have always been thrilled at the prospect of motherhood, and are the kind of women who picked names for their kids when they were just children herself. But the judicious Camilas aren’t the types to rush into commitments without first carefully vetting potential mates to make certain their words are in synch with their actions. Perhaps this is the reason that CML marriages tend to be so stable and why the Camilas’ children are universally well adjusted.
