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!

Think someone's said it already but my niece has a girl in her class called Ottilie which I love. Also like Elia and Coralie. Think I just like lots of vowels!

Thank you everyone. I've gone from being a little stressed we don't have a name - or even names - yet to feeling excited to go through these tonight with DH. I've skim read so far and there are so many would-be perfect suggestions already used by family and friends unfortunately!

Apologies @nfkl . In future, I shall preface any name threads I start with an etymological breakdown of my DD's name/a disclaimer about its language of origin and include a list of its variations across different languages. This was precisely why I added "French heritage" after the è as I imagined someone would be along to give me a lesson on my own child's name and acute/grave accents.

Not at one point did I say I need a French name to go with the French name Inès, btw, so a little comprehension wouldn't go amiss if you insist on being pedantic.

@Noname94 I like your vibe, op!

I think Céline is a perfect name, but then I'm biased as it's mine!

Lucie
Clementine (not a short name but I really like it!)
Sylvie
Manon

Already mentioned by others by Seraphine or Sylvie

oh my god stop being such a pedantic knob.

Agree, it's predominantly Portuguese so also found it odd to be looking for another "french name" like Ines.

It's not French at all.

I didn't know ines and Agnes were the same but said out loud (in French) yes they are!!

I love clementine

Cèline - it means heavenly.

Delphine is gorgeous.

Eh?! They're pronounced differently.
Inès: "Inn - ess" (rhymes with finesse)
Agnès "An - yes"

@NameChange30 In-ess. An-yess. Too close in sound, and both are forms of Agnes.

Small french girls of my acquaintance:
Manon
Margaux
Mila
Maia (so many Ms!)
Lili (maybe not classic enough)
Noé
Constance

I only know french Inès'!

Adeline
Elyna

Yes, they are both forms of Agnes. Yes, they sound similar. But they are not the same. That was the comment I was responding to. I wasn't in any way suggesting the OP call her second daughter Agnès, given that her first daughter is Inès

@NameChange30 They are both nice and don't sound that similar, just too close for sisters. I wasn't criticising you in any way.
