Names that work in French and English

Hi,
We are looking for girls and boys names that work in France and England as we live in France but are both English. Ideally not too much pronouncation difference - apart from a handful of obvious ones we are stuck! Any ideas please? Thank you!

French names are well received over here, but our idea of French names are a bit old fashioned in French eyes.

Have a look at the current top 100 French names and take it from there. You might have to be a little more conservative with a boys name, but as far as a girls name - go for it!
