French name we'd love as much as Inès?

[Noname94]

Hi everyone

I'm due another girl early March and we don't have a single name we both love.

Our DD is Inès (French heritage). We'd like something French that would also work here and is ideally shortish like Inès. We'd like it to complement her name if that's possible. To me, Inès was pretty but not too flowery or twee, a bit modern (but not too much so) and a bit less common compared to more classic names like Sophie and Amelie for example, although these are both beautiful names.

Thank you in advance!

Nina

Ines is not a French name, more Spanish/Portuguese

I am aware it's originally Hispanic but plenty of Ineses and Inèses in France too.

Yves

Sorry just seen it's a girl. I thought Ines was a boys name.

I think Colette is a lovely French name

Elise
Sara
Laura
Noémie
Roxane
Léna
Esmée
Cléo
Sylvie
Adèle

Marlene, Anouk or Agnes

Delphine
Elodie
Aurelia

Manon
Anais
Thais
Louise
Elise
Heloise
Zelie

I really love Manon.

I love Manon. My favourite French name.
Also love Celeste and Aurelia

Another vote for Manon - lovely!

I know a little French Yvette, which is not considered before but sounds really cool on her.

Or Zoe, which I know isn't French but is fairly common there, I think.

Love Manon and Elodie.

Camille?

Though I think may run into pronunciation issues, the anglicised pronunciation is quite different to the French.

Might not necessarily all have French heritage but when we lived there some of the names in dd's class that I liked were:

-Eugenie
-Amelie
-Elise
-Vivienne
-Sylvia
-Elodie
-Adeline
-Anais
-Margot

I like camille or laure

I came across the name Alette in a book. It's French and Dutch. I think it's beautiful, very fresh and elegant. Not at all flowery or twee. Not overused.
I think Inès and Alette sound lovely together.

Alizé?

Léa and Léna are very popular
Chloé has been solidly popular for the last 20 years
Other quite popular names for young girls and newborns in París at the moment include Aurore, Camille, Clary, Daphné, Héloïse, Hermance, Louison, Maëva, Odile, Solène, Valentine
(Also non French names particularly Anna, Olivia, Rosa)

Just make sure you explain correctly to your little Ines or she will be made to look ridiculous some day and that wouldn’t be fair on her
