Constantin
Gaspard
Léonard
Loïc
Lucien
Ludovic
Marcel
Pascal
VictorAnouk
Béatrice
Cécile
Clothilde
Lucienne
Marie
Mathilde

ThaïsAnd 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Marcel - reminds me of Marcel Duschamp :) A bit outdated though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 meAnouk - 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

I like Lucien, too. At the moment, though, I prefer the spelling "Lucian", but Lucien is just as great.As for the girl names, I like Anouk, Béatrice and Mathilde. Overall, your names are very nice. :)_____
