hi all. after 4 long years and just before our tests started we went to travel (bum) around france with our surfboards! Low and behold a jumping bean in my tummy was made (20 weeks) we think on the ile de re. how special (well they all are i know) anyway am looking for french names, not too french i guess so it would seem odd, but french all the same. any ideas? feels like a boy whatever that means, but it may be a girl?!!!

I was conceived in Nice, but I don't have a French name. I once joked to my mother that I'd have a 'Fabrique en France' stamp tattooed on my bum - she thought that was very funny!

My eldest was conceived in Normandy, near falaise, birth place of William the conqueror, so he is William.

Congratulations!

Wow; first of all a big congrats :-) a few names that came to mind were:
Boy:
Anton
Christophe
Jules
Louis
Marc
Serge

Girl:
Constance (used to work with a lovely girl with a lovely name)
Marion
Monique
Sylvie
Valerie

That's a few French names that aren't too 'french'. Have fun deciding.
