Help[Opinions] Re: French naming trends - interesting names!
in reply to a message by thetxbelle
Top 20 names for 2012? Are they predicting them? If so then I doubt Emma will be number one. It should be tired now, even in France. I partly grew up there and met lots of little girls named Emma. I hope the Emma trend will be over soon. I can see Jade getting common. I know twins from french Switzerland named Jade and Diane. Zoé, Chloé, Léa, Manon, Louise and Clara have been common for years. They all bore me, except for Clara, Louise and Zoé which I don't find as tired as the others. Léna also bores me to death but that's because Lena is very common in Germany where I also lived.
I like Léo, Théo for the boys. Timéo is kind of cool.
Victoire is awesome. It is a bit dated but I hope it can come back. I know a teenager named this. Valentine isn't uncommon. I know quite a few. Too soon for a comeback. Same with Agathe it used to be super common a while back.

I guess it's prediction but it's based on statistics, habits, etc, so Emma is at the least still going to be very popular. I think Valentine will make a comeback now, my cousin has been considering it, and ever since Salma Hayek used Valentina for her daughter I think it's risen in popularity.
I wasnt surprised by most of the names, the two biggest trends I see right now when I look on French boards or talk to family are American names and old traditional/bougie/aristocratic style names. I thought it was very interesting though!
