Legit like Douceline... I realize it sounds kinda questionable but I think it's pretty in a GP way. Legit LOVE Arcade, seriously. Wish it was more acceptable as a name, would be a number one go to for me if I was a celebrity or something.Dié is nice, too bad it looks the way it does.Wivine reminds me of Wideline which is a seemingly super popular name in rural Haiti. Kinda pretty.

I think most of these are uncommon for a good reason, although I like a few of them. Similien and Derrien are intriguing, as are Cantienne, Rolende and Namadie (that last one sort of looks like one of Tolkien's elves). Pudentienne sounds dirty somehow, not sure why. They are definitely interesting!
Incidentally, I had a French-Canadian ancestor named Zotique in the 1800s so it wasn't an unheard-of name in Quebec apparently.
