We’re Both half French but born and raised in Uk where DC will also be raised.

between us we also have Middle Eastern, Scandinavian and Celtic ties.
we’re looking for a name, that works in the UK but isn’t very popular (which I would probably define as not in the top 100 or maybe even top 150 names)

so far we like
Remy
Rami
Blaize
Nour
Laith
Ambroise
Nazaire

but non of them are quite right.
We dont know if we’re having a bit or girl yet, but I quite like unisex or masculine sounding names for girls

Lots of these are either going to have their pronunciation slaughtered in the UK or have different pronunciations in French and English. You might want to bear that in mind

I love Remi.

What about Yvette?

My French friends have recently named their children

Théa
Mia
Eden (boy)
Jaïden (girl, though I'm not 100% on spelling)
Ismäel
Haile (boy, pronounced eye-lee. Again not sure on spelling!)

I like

Noémie
Élodie
Estée
Lenor - if it weren't for the fabric softener
