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?

I quite like (in a perverse sort of way) the way that Marie is combined with feminine versions of boys' names, e.g. I have known a Marie-Paule and a Marie-Pierrette.

Colette?

Ellbell, my personal fave is Marie-Josephe

Aurelie...

Jeanne (pronounced jhann)

Henriette... (pronounced with the H)

Marie-France.

That was a name in my french book at school all about Msr &Madame Marsaud and their children.

Coralie is lovely

Manon
Dominique

(Love Camille mentioned by hunkermunker)

My favorite french name is Simone.

I know an Elise

At last YP - someone else who remembers it, no-one I know has heard of it before!

Anouk
Cecile
Lea
Angelina
Mathilde
Elise

All in DS1's class...

Anouk, Elise and Babette are pretty, definitely.

Bearing in mind a lot of the names suggested tend to be quite "old womany" names in France...just something to think about.

Colette.

I love the name
Evangeline.

Angelina Jolie called one of her twins Marchelline which is quite pretty.

My faves:
Elise
Lea (with accent on the 'e' but can't type it)
Isa (short for Isabelle)
Celine (with accent on 'e')
Celeste (with accent on 'e')
Clemence (with accent on 'e')
Sophie
Elodie
Laure
Romaine
Chloe
Ema
Amelie
Eleonore (lots of accents!

Odile

i just love the name Pascale. It means easter though - which doesnt mean anything to me. It also makes me think of triangles but i love it!

Yes branflake - Sylvie, Colette, Dominique, Pascale are very grandma! And Celine, Nicole, Nathalie, Elodie and Laure are getting on for middle-aged. Babette is a derivative of Elisabeth.

Little French girls I know are called:

Jeanne
Emma
Nine
Marine
Lola
Cassandre
Maelle
Eugenie
Clara
Romane
Eva

Romilly
Delphine
