DD2 due in January. Husband's French and I'm English. We live in France and are unlikely to move to the UK. Surname is unusual (middle eastern origin). Struggling to find a name that we both like.
Our short list is:
Héloïse
Héléna
Alyssa
Alexandra
Élise

Not convinced by any of them! Looking for inspiration Smile

I'm not 100% sure of the spellibg but I know an Annalise who has French and English parents. I think it's a very pretty name.

I love @TatinaLarina's suggestions, plus Sabine, Anouk, Apolline, sidonie, Mathilde.

From your list I like Heloise best (sorry accents are an issue on my phone). It's very French though, if you are looking for something Anglo-French.
