Frenchy girls!

[*star*]

Hi,

Dh and I love french names and have a DD (Amelie) already. With this one on the way, we're after another girl's name that is quite french (already have a rough idea on boys name).

Rules are:
- can't start with A, C, K or W
- no rhyming with Amelie (no ee, ie, y, etc, endings names)
- something a little original, not too english.

We've been through a lot already and nothing jumps out just yet!

Thanks!

What about Fabian

[Bathsheba]

The French had a list of "proper" first names that probably is available on the web somewhere...

I like "ette" names: Nanette, Babette etc.

I love Elodie, it's a shame it rhymes with Amelie.

How about Genevieve, or Helene?

Heloise, (sorry no accents typing on phone) Madeline, Mathilde, Juliette... Have a flick through some books by Joanne Harris (eg. Chocolat, Five Quarters of the orange, blackberry wine etc) the ones set in France have some unusual but lovely French girl's names.
