French names, uncommon but not stupid?

DH and I are currently looking for a name for DC3, due next month. We already have two DSs Leopold and Ferdinand (Leo and Ferdy). I am Irish/English and DH is French and as well as loving a lot of french names, we think that a lot of european names sound good with our french surname without sounding (too) poncey! So here's our boy's list - what are your opinions?

Tybalt
Axel
Thiboult
Ivan
Jago
Bruno
Tino
Rocco

For girls however we are completely stuck! Can anyone suggest some names which we might like?

We used to have a French girl called Solene in our office and people always commented on her lovely name.
