We love French names here too. With Ds though DH got to pick, so second name had French spelling an funnily it goes so well the whole name sounds French.
It all started with me liking the way DH's name was spelt.
Turns out though DS's name is very biblical too. Not planned though.
We have a "proper names with proper spellings" theme. We all have three given names, and the middle names are for family. Stormy's middle names have been picked out for years. Before I even left school for one of them, if Stormy is a girl. The bumpling names are the creative ones and can be still used post-birth if we want, just not on the birth certificate.
I do have a "not the normal nickname" rule. Just because I don't want Liebling having to point out his name isn't spelt "Lee" all the time, that is a living nightmare that I know all too well.
