The niece of a friend is expecting a baby in a couple of months. It's a girl, and she has chosen Camilla Mahalia as the name. She joins Amarah Jude as the second grandchild in the family. Opinions?

Not my style but I like them.

I like Camilla, but Camilla Mahalia is a bit of a mouthful. I think it's the double -a ending. I like Amarah Jude. It's unique, but not in a stupid way (well, maybe the -h on the end).

I like Camilla a lot as well, but they are a mouthful together.

I quite like Camilla, and Mahalia as well, maybe not together.

How is Mahalia pronounced? At first glance I thought the name was Camillia Mahilla which made my head spin.

Camilla is lovely.
Mahalia, apparently means "Tender one" in Hebrew. I personally don't like it, the pronunciation of it paired with Camilla is pretty bad.

Ma-HAL-Yah apparently.

I like all the names, but not together. I especially don't like Jude on a girl.

I like Camilla a lot. It's so pretty. Mahalia is pretty, too, but as someone pointed out above, it's a bit of a mouthful when paired with Camilla.

I'm guessing Amarah Jude is a girl? The Jude threw me off (though I love it for a boy).

I think they sound really awkward together.

Ma-hale-ya, like Mahalia Jackson, the gospel singer.

[maddiec24.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love Camilla, and love the meaning of Mahalia, but it's too much together.

[maddiec24.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same here.

[maddiec24.livejournal.com]

Yes, Amarah is a girl. She was almost Amarah Jade.

[maddiec24.livejournal.com]

Yep.

I immediately thought of Mahalia Jackson. Very positive associations there! Camilla Mahalia is a mouthful but I doubt people will say her middle name often, and both are pretty.
