My friends DD1 who is now 15 yrs old is called Janay
Easy to spell,easy to say as long as you don't think its french and say Jerrr neigh, which it isnt. Its Jan ay.
I believe she said its after a Luther Vandross or Alex O'Neil song.

Rhian/Rhianne (not that uncommon here but perhaps it is in France?)

LuLuBai · 27/06/2008 10:22

Yeah - sorry was just trying to think of names which work in French and maybe I need another cup of coffee to get my brain working.

LuLuBai · 27/06/2008 10:23

Although I have to say I cannot think of a single Vanessa under the age of about 30

LuLuBai · 27/06/2008 10:24

Thalia is beautiful. Find a way to convince your DH if you really like it.

jellybeans · 27/06/2008 10:26

There are loads of Rhianns near me, and Rhiannas. What about Lucia or Iona?

bamboostalks · 27/06/2008 10:26

Leonie is a lovely name, not too common and quite easy too iykwim.

LuLuBai · 27/06/2008 10:27

Cecile

dreamymum · 27/06/2008 10:27
