Can't have Alice, Rosalie or Amelie.

Considering Adeline, Ophelia and Genevieve. Any others? Any favourites? Or any like strong and beautiful names that aren't french that go with this style?

I've always loved 'Alizé' since I watched 'Être et Avoir' about twenty years ago.

On these threads you always get an actual French person or someone who lives in France coming to tell us all that our favourites are dreadfully old fashioned and the top baby names in France are English ones Grin

I like Élodie, Sophie and Marianne.

Delphine is good
Genevieve is pretty

Aurelia has a similar fe to some of yours?

FunnyInjury · 29/09/2021 21:52

Elodie. It's so pretty imho Smile

annacondom · 29/09/2021 21:49

I love Camille. My French neighbour has a baby called Amandine.

PurBal · 29/09/2021 21:47

Delphine.

Snoopsnoggysnog · 29/09/2021 21:44

Etienne is a boys name
Also, I would have thought the French name was Ophelie, not Ophelia

Love so many of these. I love Genevieve pronounced the French way.

Watch the Netflix series Call my agent for inspiration! There’s a Camille, Colette, Andrea, Noemi…

MumofSpud · 29/09/2021 21:33

We have an Esme
Also liked Etienne / Estee

Howmanysleepsnow · 29/09/2021 21:33
