The name has a romantic, flowing sound with its soft consonants and vowel combinations. Cambreia remains quite rare, appealing to parents seeking distinctive names that still carry a classical feel. The name's uniqueness ensures individuality while its pleasant phonetics make it accessible.

- Description:
  Camden is a surprise hit, probably as a result of some star baby cred: it has been chosen by no less than four celebrity parents since 2012. Gentle but not flimsy, Camden could be an updated spin on Cameron, Callum, or Caden.

  "crooked nose"
- Description:
  With its friendly, sensitive, and approachable feel, Cameron is a 90’s favorite that remains popular today. It has a pleasing balance of soft and strong sounds, and holds unisex appeal, thanks to Cameron Diaz. Still, eight times more boys than girls are named Cameron in the US.
Camille
- Origin:
  French
- Meaning:
  "young ceremonial attendant"
- Description:
  At one time just the sound of the name Camille could start people coughing, recalling the tragic Lady of the Camellias, the heroine played by Greta Garbo in the vintage film based on a Dumas story, but that image has faded, replaced by a sleek, chic, highly attractive one.
Camry
- Description:
  Camry is a feminine name that gained recognition primarily through the popular Toyota car model introduced in the 1980s. The car's name was derived from the Japanese word "kanmuri," meaning "crown." As a personal name, Camry emerged in the United States following the car's popularity, representing a trend of brand-inspired names. It has a modern, sleek sound that appeals to parents seeking contemporary names. While never reaching high popularity rankings, Camry has maintained steady though limited usage since the 1990s. The name has a pleasant rhythm and ends with the trendy "-ry" sound found in names like Avery and Emery.
