French boys names

[ShelleyI83]

Just that. We adore french names as my grandfather was French. My sister has used his name for her DS so that’s not an option.

Our DD’s are Nina, Esme & Stella.

So far our list -

Sebsastian
Henry
Julian
Oscar

I have a friend with a Henry so that puts me off but I adore them all.

I love Julien. Also like
Fabien and Olivier

Lucien

Fabian
Etienne
Pascal
Guillaume
Maxime
Marcel
Claude
Hugo

I love Oliver, thank you so much for suggesting this. We live in rural Scotland so I need something that will fit in here too!

Herve
Patrice

Jules
Olivier
Louis
Sebastién

Thibault
Arnaud
Clement
Gilles

Thierry
Jerome
Gerard
Guillaume
Loïc
Bastien
Sacha

Remy

Gabriel
Louis
Albert
Hugo
Léo
Lucas
Nathan
Luc
Henri
Rémy
Serge
Maurice
Romain
Didier
Jerôme
Gustave

Baptiste
Xavier
Jean-Pierre

Albert is gorgeous!

It’s Henri (and I think Julien) in France

Samuel, Louis, Lucien, Charles, Gabriel, Jerome, Hugo are all spelled the same - I think you want that, or a name that is distinctly French eg Marcel, Pierre, if you have a slight variation on an English spelling you will be forever correcting it.

Lucian, Lucien

Sebsastian - Sébastien
Henry - Henri
Julian
Oscar

Others: André, Thomas, Richard, Guillaume, Guy, Jules, Paul, Louis, Patrick, Arthur, Hugo , Pascal, Romain, Blaise, Etienne, ...

Enzo
Marius
Sacha
Leon
Remy
Clovis

Luc

Roman

I would consider whether you want a name whose correct French pronunciation is close to how a Scots person would pronounce it, or whether you're happy for it to be pronounced 'wrongly'.

My French friend (who lives in Grenoble but originally from Metz) is called:

Fabrice
(pronounced Fabreece). I love it! His sons are called:

Joel (with two dots above the e). Sorry I can’t do this on my keyboard.

Valerian (again with an accent above the e). It’s the name of a plant or flower

Dimitri - is that even French?

Not very keen on Julian - it always sounds a bit wet to me, sorry. Oscar is quite trendy so not really my taste. Sebastian and Henry are lovely - Sebastian sounds the most "French" to me, but I slightly prefer the classic Henry.

Love the suggestions of Xavier, Marius, Maxime and Lucien, but to be honest Henry still works best with Stella, Esme and Nina imo - similar style and 2 syllable sound.

Thank you all. I agree Henry goes best although there have been quite a few in our area recently. So difficult!
