Baptiste brings something wonderful to Hugo, I like it together, although I'm no fan of Hugo per say.
Like also: Gabriel, Raphael, Noah, & Sasha (I like it more for a girl, though)
Margaux - I am liking this more & more lately (def not this spelling)
Lola & Lila - just yes.
Enora- beautiful
Valentine- beautiful
Celestine- beautiful, new favorite
Elena- beautifulCapucine- all I can think is "Monkey" when i see this. Awful.

Alice Celestine is very pretty, especially to look at, but the two names rather merge into each other said by a native English-speaker (what I mean is, it wouldn't work in English-speaking countries)
Raphaël Mustapha is an interesting blend of cultures
Margaux Louise is cute but surely Margot is the original French version and Margaux a wine.
Romane is nice as a mn

OK... I would like to know, how do you say Maëlane? How do you say the A's in it?
Are they as in can, or as in sawn? Or one of each?
Which syllable is stressed?
Any idea where that name comes from?

It's an elaborated female version of Maël. I'd say mah eh lahn - I think what I'm describing as the ahn part might be awn for you?
The closest Forvo has is Maëlys, which gives you the first part:
http://www.forvo.com/search/Ma%C3%ABlys/eta: oh and here's Orlane to give you the second part, though this speaker is exaggerating the final syllable a little:
