My DD was conceived in Paris and my dp has set his heart on the name Paris and I really, really don't want to call her Paris! It will also be incredibly awkward when we have to explain to her why we named her Paris, how can I compromise on this? Can anyone think of any names related to Paris or suggest any French names, but not Paris! Thanks.

Lutetia, of course.

Lutetia is great! Madeleine is lovely though.

I didn't conceive DD in Paris but I did get the positive pregnancy test while there. She was such a longed for baby after multiple losses so I gave her a French name as a kind of nod to the change of fortune that began with that positive test. I'm not sure I'll ever tell her that though. Her name isn't overtly French so it's more a private thing for me and DH.

Lutetia is awesone. Reminds me of the Astérix comics... Used to love them growing up! :)
