Hmm. We were asked this in the past, and if I remember correctly my sibling set was: Bernard, Anne, Francoise and Georges. (I could sit around all day saying "zhorzh" and be serenely happy.) I still like the set, but I'm not sure if Anne qualifies as "purely French."

Going with these, combos (do the French make combos? -- I learned in school that they only have fns) would be:

Bernard Maxime
Anne Colombe
Francoise Germaine
Georges Emeric

So many gorgeous names left out. Oh, the humanity! Ah well, que sera sera. ;-)
