I need a name for a French character who is about fifty years old. I made a list of my favorite French names from this site, but I can't decide which one to use. If you could please rank the names from your favorite to least favorite, that would be a big help to me (along with any suggestions, if you know more about French names than I do) Thanks!

Alice
Aline
Alix
Colette
Coralie
Corinne
Dominique
Emmanuelle
Marie
Romaine
