[Opinions] Re: A few French favorites
in reply to a message by Shurochka
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Marcel - reminds me of Marcel Duschamp :) A bit outdated though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
Thaïs - love, I just can't get the (better imo) name Anais out of my head, plus the fact that people are atrocious when it comes to pronouncing it properly.
Paris - I think of Paris Hilton (bad) and Paris from the Iliad who I personally thought was a complete wimp lol! I didn't like him at all ..
