French names for boys

[MamaLoLo1]

Hello! Baby imminent and I want to make sure I haven't missed any excellent French names (personal link) for boys.

I'm not into the real classics like Pierre/Jacques, but do love those like Pascal, Lucien, Loïc, Yves...

Any interesting suggestions?

Hello! Yes thank you for all your suggestions! I also really like Etienne but it's the name of a particularly odious ex-boyfriend of a close friend so is a bit tainted. I like Amaury too but tested it on British family and didn't like the pronunciation... The search continues!

Julien/Julian
Hugo
Matthias
Sami/Samy

Milan
Raphael
Lucas
Adam

Maurice! Pronounced moor-eece

I'm not French, but my favourite French boys name is Etienne

@Tweetypietwo

Maurice! Pronounced moor-eece

I’m French and don’t suggest it, mainly old people/ grandfathers are named Maurice nowadays over there :/

Etienne
Sebastian
Auguste
Marc

Clement/ clem
Hugo

Bret/Brett

@Butterfly93 that's a shame, I think it is a really nice name!

Henri
Noel
Clement
Xavier
Philippe
Romain

I see the name Hugo mentioned a lot here.
Though it's very popular in France, it's origin is German (it means 'mind' or 'wisdom' in the old Germanic language).

Bret? FFS.

Butterfly I live in the 93 :-) your question is very broad. what sort of names do you like?

Maxence.

Adore the name but unfortunately had my heart broken by one.

sorry, addressed the wrong person there. MamaLoLo what sort of names do you like? Your question is a bit like asking what English names do you like? There's quite a range between Tarquin and Jaxxon.

Bret? FFS.

Ah cool :) I’m from the south of France, 93 is my birth year :)

The French family I stayed with on my year out (a while ago admittedly.....) had a son called Corentin which I've always liked.

We have a Loic but also considered Malo, Briac, Aubin and Yann

Didier

(but I love Etienne)

My handsome french teen love was Bernard! ( but pronounced in the French way as 'Bern-arr' its not so bad )

Malo and Brieuc were two of my favorites too 😍

Clement
Adrian

From the suggestions, I really like Corentin and Maxence... My top three other French names are Pascal, Loïc and Lucien. I like Raphael and Yves too.

I came on to say Loic, I really love that name, but I see you are already considering it, so you're good

Lannick....he's a rather delicious french actor who's in a lot of the Walter presents stuff

I love the name Jeanot, but the one I know is in his 80s do not sure how cool it is now

Emile
Yannick
Maxim
Herve
