Genevieve or Juliette
Sabine
Sandrine
Estelle
Eloise
Etienne
Odile
I love Anouk.
Edith is not actually French, Edith Piaf was criticised for not having a classic French name and for refusing to change it. But I associate it with French for that reason.
Fabienne could also be Fabianne? I think?
Perette
Annette (I know, the A, but it's so pretty!)
Brigitte
Dominique
Adele (I know, again, but I love it and can't use it)
I know a gorgeous French girl, Anne-Laure. (prounounced 'an-law' sort of but with a beautiful french tone IYKWIM) (I know no A names but...)
I love the French habit of double barrel! So decidedly french to be extravagant in a reserved sort of way
Otherwise, Anne-Laure mentioned she wants to call her first born girl Lisette. Sounds like a lovely name, especially in her French accent.
Otherwise I second, Genevieve and Juliette!
Giselle and Brigitte. I was going to say my name, but it starts with A (Thanks Audax for thinking my name is pretty)
Ooh, love Juliette too!
Beatrice! I guess the way we pronounce it is pretty un-French, but it's still a lovely name. And another one I can't use![]()
Ha my French mother is Anne-Marie and Im Kassie-Marieso Marydean you have a point!
Audax, Ohhh I love Anouk. It means, Grace; favour.
I had Arabella picked out for a girl.
Elaina
Estella
Jeneva
Liana
Rosabel
Thank you so much for all the lovely suggestions. Some of them are definitely favourites for me too! Just need to convince DH and have one stand out for both of us.
Great list, guys!
I love Madeline too. Also Lacey is of old French origin. We are considering this name seeing as we have a Madeline ourselves, continue with the French theme hehe
OMG OMG OMG i love French names ... (my name is French) and well my DD's first name and also her two middle names are French, her first name starts with ' C ' and one of her middle names starts with an ' A ', so no point in suggestion those so all i have left to offer you is her other middle name which is Elise
I also have always loved Corrine but that's out too with a ' C '
... so many beautiful French names to chose from, oh i envy you![]()
I knew a little girl named Ondine (pronounced Ondean) and i think it's really pretty. She used to get Onnie for short.
