[Opinions] Re: French, clunky and chic
Oceane has been a guilty pleasure of mine since I was like 12. At that time I thought it would be genuinely super classy and sophisticated for a little American girl, but in retrospect it's kind of gimmicky. I still like it though :)
Agathe - meh I just prefer Agatha or Agata
Albertine - pretty cool but most things with -bert aren't my favorite
Albine - hmm just reminds me of describing a rat without any pigment :(
Alphonsine - very cool!
Blandine - haha sorry the Bland sticks out too much
Clotilde - never been a huge fan, in terms of -tilldes I'm a Mathilde/Matilde kind of girl
Elvire - I wouldn't know how to pronounce it but it looks badass
Émilienne - beautiful
Florentine - probably my favorite on this list! aside from the fact that I love eggs florentine, I think of a beautiful floral painting or landscape
Gilberte - cute
Honorine - ehh a little much for me
Josèphe - nice! I adore Josepha myself, it's one of my favorites
Laurentine - gorgeous
Léopoldine - ooh this is probably my second favorite on this list
Ludivine - this is cool!
Magalie - not a big fan of this one
Maximilienne - cool
Pétronille - ehh, not feeling it
Rosemonde - wow I almost forgot about this name! so beautiful
Victorine - not my favorite of the Victor- names but very nice

VictorineMy husband's mother's name was Victoria, however, she was usually called Victorine. She would have been my mother-in-law, but I never knew her, she died young.

Victoria "Victorine" is rather sweet and endearing.
