[Opinions] Pretty French names!!! Please help me decide...
Change of middle name...PLEASE HELP!?
My name is Roxanne Olga-Maria R...I would like to change my middle name, since I do not like 'Olga.' and my initials spell ROR (like a lion!) I really like French names.I would like to keep Maria / Marie in my name as it was my gran's name (Maria).I would also prefer any J-names as my other gran's name starts with J (Johanna).My surname is 3-syllables long.Also, I want something that is classy, that I won't get bored with later in life+that makes the rather 80s-sounding Roxanne a bit more elegant.Which 2 of these ideas do you like+why? Other suggestions welcome too.Roxanne Louise Marie R

RoxaneRoxane is a Persian name. It's correct to spell it with one n. It's so stupidly American with the cliché -anne Suffix. It might very well be the French cognate, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was merely yet another American unnecessary elaboration.I'd go with Roxane Marie Adeline, but I'd prefer just Roxane Adeline. I have a cousin named Roxane Aimée.

I like these:Roxanne Juliette Marie R
Roxanne Lucille Marie R
Roxanne Celine Marie R
Roxanne Toinette Marie R
Roxanne Corinne Marie RI see somewhat of a pattern with the "ette" ending. My mother-in-law's name is Bernadette, which I think makes a fantastic middle name. But it might sound too sexy with Roxanne. Roxanne Bernadette Marie. Plus, I might use it as a middle name if I have a second girl, so I'm not sure if I should be encouraging others to use it. But I can't claim copy write on any name. I also love Mireille, but just not with your other names.

Of your combos, my favourites are - Roxanne Juliette Marie R
Roxanne Marie Adeline RMireille is one of my favourites but I don't really think it works well next to Marie. Another of my favourites is Gaëlle and I think Roxanne Marie Gaëlle or Roxanne Gaëlle Marie sound nice. Adele is another that would work in either position.
