[Opinions] Some French combos

I was playing around with the most recent popularity lists I could find for France (www.meilleursprenoms.com), and making a combo for names ranked 1-20, another for 21-40, etc--so these are for fun, not for keeps. WDYT?

Tom Arthur and Inès Lou-Anne
Paul Valentin and Ambre Noémie
Titouan Victor and Léonie Faustine
Robin Gaspard and Agathe Amandine
Oscar Diego and Salomé Manel
Malo Timothée and Zélie Apolline
Amaury Hamza and Nour Constance
Elouan Ali and Angèle Flora
Melvin Joseph and Romy Iris
Côme Andrea and Diane Garance

Also I'm glad to answer any questions about French pronunciation, meaning, and name trends.

Nour Constance is very pretty. I also like Paul Valentin and Zélie Apolline.

How do you pronounce Côme?

Côme [m]

...is pronounced kind of like 'cone' with an m in it. The accent over the O makes it kind of heavy though. You really bring you mouth into an O shape to make the sound. Côme is the French version of Cosmo, I was really surprised to see it ranked in the top 200, but I think they're having an antique revival over there, too.

Called rubia or madder in English. Good question! I never knew.
