[Opinions] Re: Camille
I'm taken with Zipporah Camille. Definitely use it. It's not filler at all. And I would not worry a bit about naming a child after yourself. We pass down the father's name all the time. Turn about is fair play.

Thank you :) I don't know why I have such a neurosis about using Camille when it's a name I inherited from someone else, and like you said male names get passed through the generations all the time. My own dad has a variation of his dad's name, which is a language-parallel / translation of his dad's name, which... And when I think of that, I do wonder why I feel silly about using Camille. I've always liked it way more than my actual first name and wanted to use it for any future daughter, so I do need to get over that.
I've always sort of loved Zipporah, I just find it pretty, interesting, lively, still with a strong identity, so I'm so glad you like Zipporah Camille, if and when I have a daughter, it's well within the realms of possibility.
