    Frenchy girls!

    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!

    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.
