We've trawled through our name books and finally got a list down to 16, which is now down to 7. But we just can't seem to whittle it down from there. In alphabetical order we're left with:

Amaury
Aymeric
Célian
Corentin
Mayeul
Thibault
Yvain

We ruled out Aurélien, Emilien and Titien as DS1's name ends -ien, and we don't want to feel like we're stuck in a pattern if we have a DS3 in the future. But Aurélien and Titien were the top contenders until then.

Any takers?

TIA :)

(And then I might ask about the 12 girls names we're trying to pick from in the unlikely event it turns out to be DD1 - aargh!)

Think it depends on the language of the country you'll be living in tbh. I loved Benoit, Ettienne and Laurent for our half French ds, but we live in Yorkshire, and they sound VERY different in the dialect here! :o

I love Corentin and Thibault but I am french so I have no idea how to pronounce them with an english accent.
