Twin Girls, looking for french names

[kisekae]

Hello,

I'm having twins in May and I'm stuck on girls names. We already have a daughter named Amelie and I tend to gravitate towards french names. We had originally picked out Violet and Sofia but I've completely gone off Sofia as it's too popular (prefer unique names)

I've recently fallen in love with the name Miette but can't find any other names that would fit with it (Violet and Miette doesn't sound right together with the double 'et's).

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Madeleine. Esme.

My favourite girls name is Elodie. DS would have been Elodie if he had been a girl.

BTW do you mean Minette (my French is rusty but I think miette means crumb!)

Capucine. Pronounced Cap oo sin
Mireilla Pronounced. Mee reya

Violet is lovely

Alizée

One of the little girls in Être et avoir was named Alizée and I loved the name.

I think Vivienne is a beautiful name

Ahh so many good suggestions! Definitely saving this thread x

Really liking Emmeline

(Esme is my daughters middle name :D )

Juliette & vivienne

Capucine is actually what I would go with if I thought people could pronounce it correctly, but it's unlikely. Love the nickname Capu

i have French neighbours and their dc's are:

Ange (with an accented e but am on my phone)
Arley
Sunny (said with an accent like "soonee")

Mireille is lovely, and I also like Solange.

Mireille
Nicole
Therese
Alix

What about Arianne ? I think it's such a lovely name which is known but not popular so you won't end up in the 'Sophia' situation again.

Melody and Miette

Some lovely names here , what about Evangeline if you like Emmeline

Amandine
Alizee
Heloise
Estelle

If you chose Violette, would you pronounce it in the English way (so round here would probably sound like Vi Lot) or Vee Oh Lett?

Miette does mean crumb, so you may want to rethink that one!
Minette is a cat's name.

Virginie (not sure where accents should go)

Alixe is also good.

Virginie has no accents.

I know it means crumb, but that doesn't put me off :P My sweet little crumb

Margot
Ottilie
Sophie

Raphaelle (with an 'umlaut' over the e)
Cleodie
Anouk
Manon

There are huge numbers of 'Marie-" names where I live. I love a little girl in my son's class called 'Marie-Soleil'.

My DD2' middle name is lise Pronounced lease. I love it but were not sure enough to use it as a first name. Not sure if it's french or French canadian - I should probably check.

She might not thank you for that when she's 30 though!

DD1 has a friend called Miel (Honey), who is French/American. I think that might be slightly better than being called Crumb.

Loads of Alizee around here too. Love that name as well.
