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!

What about Fabian

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.

Oops I read you wanted boys names lol

Soliel- Pronounced soh-ley
Brielle
Eloise

Veronique
Monique
Brielle

these are all names from various ppl in my family - (mauritian descendants) so not "real " french, but they like to think so :lol:

Edit - took out the A & C names!
