Hi,
I'm after suggestions for French boys names that work in the UK please.
I want them to work in both and not sound overly 'French'.
For example, I like but can't use: Louis, Fabien and Maurice.
Less keen on 'Jean-Pierre'...
Ideas gratefully received! Thanks.

Of course pronunciation would be different. Probably best to avoid anything that sounds feminine in English (Michel or Dominique, say )
