French names

So I’m playing with a different sims family tonight. I’m looking for a french origin name that would work for an “upper class” British family if that makes sense.

So some ideas I had for boys names were Sebastian, Louis and Arthur.

But girls names I’m struggling with because I think I’m letting my personal preferences for names cloud it. I really like Chloe and Genevieve but I don’t know if they really fit with the theme I’m going for.

Again your suggestions would be so helpful or if you’ve got a favourite from the names listed.

Thank you 😊

DD1’s posh French friends, when we lived in Paris were: Amytis, Flavie, Sonia and Pauline. Does that help?

Please don't call your child Claudette ,she isn't a 80yo woman. It's so strange seeing what British ppl see as "posh french names" or even regular french names. Any -ette name ( apart from Juliette I guess) is a NO NO NO. Too 80yo lady. Lots of names cited here are very 80s ( I.e Sébastien).

Arthur and Louis are the best choices imo , very classy and elegant.

@Pktjrsmoi OP said they are sims (computer game characters) not real children Grin

My French neighbours are Guillaume (Guy) and Shad-Carine, and their daughter is Sixtine. I also know French girls called Maïté, Camille, Elisabeth. Not sure how classy or popular they are though.
