[Opinions] My Husband's Picks for Our Twins - WDYT?
My husband Christian is from France, so there are quite a few names of French origin. His top girl pick was Sophie, but it's quite popular. He's now stuck on Anaïs and Francoise. His top pick for a boy is Julien. What do you think of these names and are there any you would suggest? Siblings are George and Philomena. Anaïs (He's really set on this)
Anoushka
Mathilde
Francoise
Ottilie (honoring his sister Odile)
Eloise / Heloise
Alix
Amalia
Sabine
Nico
Bethsabee (French version of Bathsheba)
Colette
Cosette
Henriette
Bernadette
Pippi
Margot
Ariadne
Aurelie
Belle
Marie Catherine
Paloma (kinda funny with our last name, which also means dove)
Fiammetta
Lucie
Eugenie (his Grandmother's name)
Christabel (in honor of Christian)
He also wants to use Jessamine or Jessamy, which would honor me, a Jessica, though we would probably put this in the middle if we use it.Jack / Jacques / Giacomo
Franz
Julien (or Julian)
Vincent
Victor
Edgar
Pascal
Claude
Axel
Damien
Quentin
Yann / Yannick
Henri (prn aw-REE)

I like: Eloise, Amalia, Sophie, Margot, Belle and Lucie for girls. Eloise and Lucie are probably my favorite.
For boys I like most all of the names on your list minus Raoul and Yann. Julien, Victor, Edgar, and Damien are my favorites.

I think you should pick the names for the twins. I'm not fond of any of these at all.

Guillaume! *swoons* I adore Guillaume but I could never use it ( unless the father is French). I like almost every boy name on the list. Least favorites would be Franz, Yann and Raol. Julien is a very nice name but Guillaume is just so...so lovely
Anaïs is a great name and it was once one of my favorite names for a girl. Francoise is pretty nice, but there are other names on the list I like better like Mathilde, Eloise and Aurelie. I think Pippi is terrible.

Girls-

Nicholas.By the way, I live in French-speaking Canada, so some of the names are familiar to me, though some, I think, are usual mostly in France.
For example, Thibault is a surname, here.

Are you from Quebec? Yes, Thibault and Thierry are surnames here too. I think they are both quite dated as first names, pretty 70s to me. But he seems to like them... :S LOL

I'm not in Quebec, though I live about 15 minuites from the Quebec border.I live in French-speaking New Brunswick.
I have a nephew-in-law named Thierry, however, he lives in France.
You've got a lot of good names,just about any would be very nice.
