Not Claudie

I’m unexpectedly pregnant with #2 and I’m trying to focus on names to help me get excited.

Can anyone suggest French girl names that end in ie? Not Amelie. If possible a bit more unusual. Two syllables or maybe three.

I really love Claudie but not the meaning (lame/crippled) so something similar would be nice.

I know not French but I also really like Maely… So I guess wildcard suggestions welcome too.

Cecilie (sorry can't get accents on this keyboard easily)
Natalie
Marie

I really like Aurelie, but I'm afraid that now it sounds too much like 'orally' and could lead to teasing

PlinkPlankPlunk · 13/02/2022 16:51

Elodie
Leonie

I love both these names

How about popping over the border to Germany and using Heidi?

Noemie
Novalie
Anouk
Mabli (Welsh but perhaps along the same lines as Maely)

Celeste?

I've always liked Annsofie (with the emphasis on the first syllable) and Rosalie

I love Elodie.

TatianaBis · 13/02/2022 18:53

Are you actually in France or UK?

Aurelie works in France but not here.

I prefer Maelys (which I love) to Maely.

Maeva (pronounced May-va)

I believe it means 'welcome'

Leonie I think is great
