Girl's name, three syllables, ending in ie/y that works in French ....

[olatt]

any ideas?! Not keen on Elodie and, although I like them, Amelie and Emilie no good either ...

Romilly
Stephanie
Melody/Melodie

That's it for now, will put my thinking cap on... (spent my whole pregnancies trying to think of names that DIDN'T end in -ie/y because of our surname so this is a good exercise for my tired old brain!)

Stéphanie
Mélanie
Magali
Ophélie
Ottilie

Natalie/Nathalie
Melanie

LOVE Ottilie

Angelie
Annemarie
Leonie

Dorothée
Aurélie

Cecily

Cécile is the French for Cecily and it is a horrible name in French!

Valerie

Virginie

Why is Cecily a horrible name in French?

Another vote for Aurelie (can't do the accents on my PC)

Other ideas 3 syllables but don't all end in 'ie':

Clementine
Eloise
Isabelle

Genevieve
Beatrice

The reason I asked was because I was interested to know if Cecile was a generally reviled name in France, or something, because of some sort of connotation attached to it, or if it's just your opinion that it's horrible.

Cecile/Cecilia means 'blind' so not a very nice meaning .

Cécile is a very traditional Catholic bourgeois name that is not on the up in France.

And what's wrong with that? No different than being in UK and calling a girl Margaret.

Cécile and Cecily are not on the same register. They are not equivalent names in French and English. So a bit hard.

Amelie?

Bethany?

Philonie

Noémie
Coralie

Ophelie?
