Hi,
We are looking for girls and boys names that work in France and England as we live in France but are both English. Ideally not too much pronouncation difference - apart from a handful of obvious ones we are stuck! Any ideas please? Thank you!

Please don't choose Leo - lovely name but every second child here is called that. We've had to start adding nicknames! We have a Big Leo, Downstairs Leo, School Leo, Little Leo, ...

Elody/Elodie is also lovely but I think generally puts the age expectation into the 30s/40s. The equivalent of all the Claire's from the 70s in the UK. A name which would also work well in France, speaking from experience Smile

We have a Leo. We've only ever met one other. It probably depends where you live but we've moved around a bit.
