DD2 due in January. Husband's French and I'm English. We live in France and are unlikely to move to the UK. Surname is unusual (middle eastern origin). Struggling to find a name that we both like.
Our short list is:
Héloïse
Héléna
Alyssa
Alexandra
Élise

Not convinced by any of them! Looking for inspiration Smile

I have a Sylvie and her dad is French- we live in England. I didn’t quite realise how old and out of date Sylvie is is France when I named her that though. It’s the equivalent of calling your child Brenda or Linda or Pamela or something - ie not horrible names but names that no-one would use these days.

I think your names are nice suggestions OP. What about Eloise without the H?
