- Foxarravhex: WHAT? Use the c please!
- Yruhittingme: I really like Kamilla instead of Camilla in countries where a K at the beginning of a name really is common (Hungary, Germany etc.), but in the U.S. or GB it would seem so "kreatyve" if I met a girl called Kamilla instead of Camilla.

Apparently the “k” bothers people, but you have to understand that “C” in a lot of Slavic languages is pronounced like an S. So it wouldn’t be Ka-mil-la it would be Sa-mil-la if it started with a c.
