Can any French-English MNers help me name DD3?

[Zaziedanslemetro]

We are a French/English family currently living in Germany, and have just found out I'm expecting a 3rd DD! We are having trouble finding another girl's name which "works" in both French and English, and is at least pronouncable for Germans.
DDs 1 and 2 are Esther and Madeleine, and we would like to continue with these sort of classic/traditional/not-massively-overused names.

We both really like Constance, but there is a dilemma re. our surname. It sounds like "No". Just that, one syllable. If you say "Constance No" out loud, does it sound silly in English? I think it's fine in French, and we are unlikely to go and live in England, but still... Would be interested to know what people think!

Also, I love Josephine, but French DH thinks it's a bit to "cutesy" with the -ine ending. Any other suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks for any help!

I love Capucine. Pronounced Ca-poo-sin

Some French/German girls I know are called:
Elisa
Alma
Lina
Eva
Olivia
Alice
Jenny
Emma
all of which work well in English too.

Oh, and also a Luz, which I love, although she is German/Spanish, living in France

Coline
Amandine

I like a lot of these, but unfortunately many have already been used in our family. Laughing at the poster who would remarry a Frenchman just for the naming possibilities! There are so many lovely "English rose" type names that I can't use (Rosamund, Cordelia, Meredith, Octavia...) and plenty of chic French ones that don't sound good in English (Garance, anyone?). So it's hard!

Re. potential shortening to Connie -I was concerned about this too, although I'm not sure this would happen in France (don't know about Germany yet). DD2 is never Maddy, only Madeleine -the French don't seem to have the same short nicknames as the English.

NomdeClavier -interestesting you think Josephine may be due a revival -I have never met one in all my years in France, but perhaps it's a regional thing too. I might have to concede that you and my DH are right, it IS cute in French, whereas I would say more elegant to English ears.
From your list I would consider Violette, Aliénor and Clemence, thanks.

I doubt it's regional as they're not families from the region (if that makes sense).

I love Violette but our surname begins with a T.

Ah, OK. Looking at your list I was seeing "Figaro-chic", and imagining you in a "naice" area of Paris

Haha! No I live in deepest darkest Normandy - practically England - and of that list there are 4 local, 2 from Brittany, 3 from around Lyon (2 are Franco-American), 4 from Paris, 1 from Nimes, 2 from Bordeaux, 3 from Toulon, 1 Belgian/French and 1 Brit/French. But they all live here for one reason or another either long-term or on a posting.

The only ones of which there are only one are Félicie, Ondine and Violette! And then there are lots of Maries etc and some other names that I wouldn't count as traditional or underused! I just gave you a selection that happened to fit your criteria.

We had the same problem, but for boys names.

For a girl...I think Josephine is beautiful and not too cutesie at all. Some other ones I like...

Katia
Brigitte
Sylvie
Celeste
Juliette
Elise
Blondine
Amandine
Helene

I give you our little girls (always passed on) family name from the Bourbon Isles ( Reunion)

 Lyontine.

What about Ariana? Elise was going to be my other one, but it's been mentioned.

Beatrice? It means 'happy'.

I quite like Adrienne and Vivienne because I think they sound pretty but sophisticated.

I really like Etienne, but that would be a bit odd

Vivienne
Axelle (I know a half-French Axelle living in England and think it is a fab name)

Magali?
Lily?
Océane?

Some pretty names i know of French girls having.

Or how about a name which works as an English name with a French spelling such as Aimeé or Emile.
Good luck.

Chloe? Ines? Clemence? Mathilde?

It's celtic rather than French but what about Isolde?

Whatever you choose I'm sure it will lovely as you have excellent taste (DD2 is named Esther Madeleine!)

Josephine is a great name.

Catherine?

I think a long name that can have different nick names in different countries / with different friends might be the way to go.

Yseult is the French version of Isolde. It's a fine, ancient name. I knew an Eseld (Cornish version).

In France the Genvieves I know are in their 50's, the Sylvie's in their late 40's and the Celine's in their late 30's.

At our school we have

Garenne
Sarah
Mary-Lou
Angèle
Flora
Charlotte
Mylène
Laura
Maïtena
Chloé
Elena
Louise
Éloïse
Emma
Lali

Sorry first should read Garence

I know 2 Josephines, one is 14, the other 8. One in the S-W, one in Provence.
Both get called JoJo...

Lucie, Hélène, Alice, Sophie, Emma, Anna, I quite like Maureen in French I realise I may be alone in that...
