Help[Opinions] Re: French names
in reply to a message by alice
My first reaction was: Oh no! The French are now trying too hard. . . . It's those *&#%!)^ Mcdonalds in Paris.
I suppose these could be family names that were popular 100 years ago. I do have a secret warm feeling for Hippolyte. It seems every other minor character in a 19th century French or Russian novel was named Hippolyte. Ah, to be a teenage bookworm once again. . . .
Ludovine could grow on me. I do like Philomene, Annabelle, Octavie, and Milo. My tastes run to the obscure (English names), particularly medieval saint names, so who am I to judge?
