[Opinions] A few French favorites
Lately a lot of my favorite names seem to be French. Some of them are also names in English (i.e. Beatrice, Victor) but now I prefer the French pronunciations. What do you think of them?
Ayméric
Constantin
Gaspard
Léonard
Loïc
Lucien
Ludovic
Marcel
Pascal
Victor
Anouk
Béatrice
Cécile
Clothilde
Lucienne
Marie
Mathilde
Sabine
Thaïs
And not actually a French name, but Paris for a boy.

Ayméric - I prefer Emeric, pronounced Ayméric, it sounds like it should be a princes name
Constantin - very handsome, alhough I don't know if a toddler could carry it off
Gaspard - the "gas" part sounds ugly to my ears
Léonard - bad personal association, plus I think Leo names sound prtentious and seem to "try too hard"
Loïc - beautiful, I love it! Although I doubt it would be pronounced correctly ><
Lucien - reminds me of Lucien and Wayne (a television programme), a bit chavvy, like Damien.
Ludovic - I *love* the sound of this name, it's so handsome and timeless.
Marcel - reminds me of Marcel Duschamp :) A bit outdated though
Pascal - very cute, although I prefer the feminine version Pascale
Victor - I don't really like word names on boys, it's a bit too "macho" for me
Anouk - this used to be my favourite name but then I used it as an alias for my livejournal and I've grown tired of it
Béatrice - beautiful! Romantic .. reminds me of Shakespeare
Cécile - too choppy, I prefer Cecily
Clothilde - the word "clot" is never good
Lucienne - see Lucien
Marie - unfortunately has become a filler name for me (despite how much I hate that word), I prefer Manon.
Mathilde - in my top 10, I like Matilda at the moment, the great nicknames are endless! I named my dog Tilly :)
Sabine - reminds me of Satine from Moulin Rouge, it's not very appealing to me, sounds like a cat name because of the "sab" I like the vaguely similiar Sabriel though
Constantin - very handsome, alhough I don't know if a toddler could carry it off
Gaspard - the "gas" part sounds ugly to my ears
Léonard - bad personal association, plus I think Leo names sound prtentious and seem to "try too hard"
