Classic 2/3-syllable girls names...

[ChesterBelloc]

...that more or less work in French too. Not much to ask, I know!

Can't have Anna, Sophie, Elisabeth, Marianne or Beatrice (outs self), but these will give you an idea of the kinds of names we like.

The French connection means that the endings will probably have an 'e' rather than an 'a' (e.g: Marguerite rather than Margarita). I'm open to more unusual names, but DH is fairly conservative... Please help!

Emily
Vivienne

Emma?

Amelie
Megan
Rochelle
Raquel
Dorothy
Philippa
Christie
Julie

Aimée?

Annabelle

Emile
Fleur
Valerie

Amélie
Camille
Charlotte
Dominique
Genevieve
Henrietta
Josephine
Juliette
Lucille
Madeleine
Mathilde
Valérie
Vivienne

Oh how I wish I had girls and was back in my country....

Gosh, you guys are fast!

Vivienne is on my list. Can't have Emily (or Evelyn or Eleanor or Phoebe or Lucy or Ava or Maya - LOTS of nieces!).

Full disclosure - I'd prefer 3 syllables to 2, as my younger girls all have 3 syllable-names, so I think it would 'go' better, IYSWIM.

Charlotte
Catherine
Madeleine
Amelie
Simone
Chantal
Isabelle
Natalie
Helene
Sophie

Forgot I can't use Charlotte either.

I like Valerie, Genevieve (pronounced the French way), Magdalene, Amélie...

Francesca
Lavinia
Célestine
Emmanuelle
Georgiana

Sophie
Isabel(le)
Amélie

Marion
Charlotte
Nat(h)alie
Joséphine
Lucie
Emilie
Alexia

Sorry I wrote a one syllable name after reading you want two 🤦🏼‍♀️

Cecily is what I would have chosen if I was having a girl!

Amelie, Elodie, Cecily, Ottilie, Francine, Dorothy (Dorothee sounds lovely in French), Clementine, Madeleine, Violet, Josephine, Odette, Margot
