Please see my latest revised shortlist none of which we 'love' I'm hoping for more suggestions please?
If you think you can suggest others please note my challenging critera :S
- We have a pretty french surname (french-canadian DH) so I can't have anything too frilly or it sounds like a show-girl/burlesque artists name (in the UK anyway) its not 'la rouge' but it is not a million miles away. Lots of surname vowels mean that names ending in vowels often sound awful, e.g. Ella La Rouge = tongue twister and too frilly. This tends to makes me favour some unisex names
- It does not have to be french/frenglish but has to be fairly easily pronounced by the french side of the family
- Middle name is agreed as Grace due to special family connection to this name
we live in the UK, no plans to live in France/Canada so it doesn't have to be trendy in these countries (so that's one less thing to factor in!)
