Dh and I are trying to come up with names for the baby (not due til October, so we have a while), but are a bit stuck by our own criteria.
Dh is French and I'm English, so we'd ideally like names that are pronounceable for both sides of the family, and that can be used in both countries as we're not sure which one we'll be living in. On top of that, dh has stipulated that it has to be a Saint's name, and on the French calendar of Saints.
We'd always planned to use Béatrice or Héloïse, but they seem to be suggested all the time on here, which makes me think they're going to appear a lot in the near future. And slightly more of a problem is that people on here seem to associate Héloïse with the C**v word. So, we're thinking of saving those up for a couple of years, and trying a different name.
I absolutely love the name Aria, which would work except that there's no saint; the saint is Ariadne. Can I put Ariadne on a birth certificate, or is it just too ridiculous?
Also, I read Classics at university, so I think everyone will assume I've chosen a poncey Classical name.
Any other suggestions for unusual and attractive Saints please?
Thanks so much
