[Opinions] Re: French names
in reply to a message by alice
These names aren't French: Malec, Micah, Sofiane (on a boy??), Lou-Anna, Sula (??), Mailys/Maelys are NOT French, sorry but I don't like it when people just say "it's French" because it's exotic or something.Apart from that, these names are never used (some used to, others are unheard of): Elodian, Eloi, Lilian, Opaline, Philomene, Fleurette.
I like:
A nice sibset; Charlotte, VincentBoys: Milo, Bastien, Micah, Florent, ThibaultGirls: Flavie, Octavie, Anaelle

Sorry, these were just names I saw on the board there, I copied and pasted the list from my journal (naughty) and forgot to take off Micah and the others These ones: Elodian, Eloi, Lilian, Opaline, Philomene, Fleurette - I found on the boards (and the top 100 lists) so obviously someone likes them! I have a tendency to like very-old or very-new (i.e. creative) French names that most people wouldn't have heard ofI haven't a clue where they got Sofiane from I just took the ending (-fiane) and presumed it was a French 'kre8tif' name as I can't find it anywhere Alice x
