Help[Opinions] Re: French names: WDYTO them?
in reply to a message by Felie
F:
Colette - lovely, cute and vintage. It's being used again both in France and the US. 9/10
Perrine - nice feminine form of Pierre. 7/10
Marise - it's okay, but I like Marissa and Manon more. 5/10
Arielle - not bad, although I much prefer Ariel on both genders. I don't like this elaboration. 5/10
Osanne - too religious, it also sounds old. 2/10

M:
Éloi - very nice. Short and timeless. 9/10
Ulysse - I like the association with the character in Greek legend. 7/10
Gilles - I know it's French, but I don't really like the extra L. 5/10
Benoît - dated, but not that bad. 5/10
Boniface - no matter which form, this name always sounds old. It's a shame, since the meaning is pleasing. 3/10
