I completely love French names.
My little girl's first name is French too :)

I have a couple of favourites (Elodie, Noelle & Camille) but I want to add some more to my list and I'm looking for inspiration! :)

Laurence (for a girl, feminine form of Laurent)
Celeste
& Eloise

...are some of my favorite names.

Hm, I just noticed that my middle name choices for girls are just about all French

I tend to like very elegant & feminine sounding names for middle names, where as my first names are more short & frill-less.

I love Elodie and Noelle too!

My personal favorites:
~ Genevieve
~ Claire
~ Madeleine
~ Adelaide/ Adele
~ Juliet
~ Victoire
~ Charlotte
~ Elize
~ Agnes
~ Amelie
~ Edith
~ AnaÏs
~ Olivie
~ Evelyne (I like the more American/English Evelyn though lol)
~ Celeste
~ Jeanne
~ Josephine
~ Julienne
~ Emeline
~ Renee
~ Cecile
~ Celine
~ Honore
~ Isabel
~ Laure
~ Lydie
~ Natalie
~ Noelle
~ Philippine
~ Sacha


~ Leo/Lionel
~ Charles
~ Mathieu/ Mathias
~ Gabriel
~ Jacques
~ Blaise
~ Henri (though I prefer the more English Henry :) )


I basically like names I'm familiar with in the American language that are also in the french namelist :) I think it adds a sweet flair to a lot of names, and makes them more unique in a not "far out" way :)

Hope I helped!
