Not even pg but friend is expecting and both of us are trying to think of pretty french names for a little girl

[peacelily]

Am pondering on a French name for my next dc (not even concieved though!). friend loves France too and goes there a lot like us. So far I've thought of

sylvie
amelie
estelle
rosalie

That I like. Any other suggestions?

Madeleine

Camille

Fleur?

Esme
Anais
Rene
Felicity

Melisande

Hmmm I'm quite picky I'm afraid! Know too many madeleines already, fleur sounds too old and Renee reminds me of the actress by the same name!

Esme and Anais are quite pretty but don't want to same name as Noel Gallaghers and meg matthews daughter!

Ariane

Elodie
Manel
Chloe
Alexie
Morgane

Analie (not sure how to spell it)
Esme
Amelia
Jaimee (with a little flickee bit above the ee )
Sophia

Wow Elodie lovely! And Melisande, what would it be shortened to do you think?

Melisande would be shortened to Mel which is not that exciting. Elodie could be El.

Clemence. With an accent on the first 'e' that I don't know how to do on my keyboard. But you're not French!

Elodie is lovely, IMHO.

Think MmeBovary should have had Emma on her list.

Yseult?
Manon?
Emmanuelle?
Yvette?

Jaimée has got to be a made-up name, surely?
