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

It's true, MrsSchaden - it's very popular here too! And they really don't know that it's a v funny name even though they live next to America and Canada. You kind of think they'd do a bit of research about it to make sure the rest of the continent weren't chuckling at them.

How about Marinette?

My lovely French teacher's name

Looking at that list and noticing that there are a lot of Anglo names. How funny.

I adore Inés (it's fairly popular in my country), but I married a Scot and live in Scotland and Innes is a man's name.

My current favourite girls French name is Maëlle.

I like name Juliette and Camille

Agathe (pronounced a-gat)

sleepywombat I know a 2yo Violaine too but really, a name with both rape and hate in it, how it is still an option is beyond me, I'd rather call my daughter Beyoncé :)

I love

Camille
Axelle (I know an Axelle-Laure which is very pretty too)
Eloïse
Anaïs
Zoé
Chloe

And most would sound fine in a regular English accent

Laurance.
Though most English people would just pronounce it Lawrence.
Annick (is apparently Breton)
Murielle
Agnes
Alette
Carine
Elouanne
Hermine (pronunciation again possibly a problem)
Lisette
Magalie
Ondine
Sandrine
