French Girl names

[BlindSpotForCats]

I'm watching Charlotte Gray and when Charlotte went under cover in France she was called Dominique.

I am a bit of a Francophile and so it made me wonder what my preferred French name would be. I love Mathilde. I loved Ghislaine until it became associated with Maxwell. I went to school with a Sandrine which I thought was magnificent.

So I am curious as to what your fave french names are?

I am not naming a baby, but thought this might be the best place to put the query in case I want to change my name by deed poll one day.

Valerie is my favourite - quite old fashioned now but I love it.

I love French girl's names but pretty sure that a lot I like are pretty old fashioned to French ears.

Fabienne
Amandine
Apolline
Séverine
Ségolène

My own name is french, but I've always like Joelle. Soft j sound of course!

my sisters are Martine and Monique.

Aurelie
Amelie
Nanette

Simone
Celine
Colette

I knew a Camille and a Nina who were both pretty cool.
My French neighbour has a DD called Amandine - it's nice but makes me think of almonds, which is an odd thing to be named after.
But my favourite is probably Gabrielle.

Sandrine - my school French exchange pupil was called this.
Audrey
Elodie

I like Adeline and Vivienne

Delphine
Dauphinelle
Salomé
Clarisse

Agathe
Elise
Caroline

Claudine. Probably because of St Clare's!

Fanny

Madeleine.

I love my name. But only the French pronunciation (Mad-lenn/Mad-lehn) or the traditional English (Mad-a-laine). None of this Mad-a-lin thank you.

Sophie and Louise.

French names are the best.

Estelle

Giselle is lovely, too.

Amélie
Aurélie
Élodie

Was waiting for this!

I like Emmanuelle.

Marie-Claude.

from my French reading book

The French pronunciation of Valentine is lovely. Almost called my daughter that, but it would only have ever get pronounced the English way.

I love Amandine too!
Antoinette (definitely from St Clare's!)
Delphine
Juliette
Josephine

Loving Amandine.

Sorry, I'm not abandoning the thread- about to start work!. back tomorrow. Thanks for the replies.

Bertille

Manon, and the French pronunciation of Agnes. Beautiful

Bernadette
Margaux
