French boys names

[NewMrsCharles]

Hello all! Not even pregnant yet as you may have seen from the JS forums but we have been thinking about names already and have been really drawn to french boys names but could they also end up sounding pretentious?

I love Emile and Clement (but I wasn't allowed)

I love Louis and Sebastian!

Aurélien I loved when I heard of it

You could go for a more general european name like Gabriel or Rafael. I chose Gabriel for DS1 partly because it worked in lots of different languages.

I would choose Xavier from your list

I know a French Louis (under 5).

I love Emil too, and Leon. But we/kids have a French-sounding surname (though are not French) so dh vetoed...

Is Elliot French?

We have a Louis aged 10 months Mathieu aged 7 dh is French Canadian. I love Christian and Christophe.

DH is French, our DS (3 months) is called Thibault Felix, pronounced Tibo.

My FIL is called Francois, think it's that older generation really, we know no-one our age called it.

Our back up names were Loic, Ludovic, Antoine.
