Name Riddle

My friends just told me about their friends name clues, and I'm stumped. I can't think of one possibility. Here are the clues: Norman/French name, 6 letters, no shortening as it would just be a vowel sound, not overly popular. Don't know if it's a boy or girl, but my friend thinks boy from a few hints they gave.

Any ideas?

Oh, six letters. Ooops. Was trying to think of vowel soundy names and skipped that bit.

Oh, arse. Though the name Riddle was the surname due to capitalisation.

He's arrived and it's Travis. I would never have guessed that but I've looked it up and it is indeed French.
