What are your two favorite French names? (m)
One male, one female. And one unisex, if you feel like it.Mine are Etienne and Bertille. What are yours? **After supposedly dying on January 30, 2007 after eating tainted pancakes, she returned several times as an angel and was revealed to be alive on May 17, 2011. )**

Eleanoire (Ay sound, not Eh sound) for girls, Olivier for boys. I also really love Marion for girls, and Maxime is a beautiful, more unisex French name.

Zéphyrine or Mélisande. For a girl. But so many lovely options. Although I guess I should give an honourable mention to Camille, which is my middle name, a family name, and if I ever have a daughter I'll pass it on (it's to honour a lady who helped my family before my grandmother was born and it became a family name, which is really quite sweet. In the UK Camille gets pronounced ka-MEEL but we still use the original impossible to explain pronunciation which is just prettier imho even if you have to correct a few folks ).Boys... I dunno. Ludovic? I'm struggling with boy names at the moment, but I guess I could work with Ludovic. Amaury's cute, but I could imagine an Amaury being a little git.+ I do love Vincent, although it's not strictly a French name it does feel very French.

Rémy & Laurine.Laurine was my maternal grandmother's middle name, and has been my first middle name since May 19th this year. I didn't have any middle name(s), always wanted two, so I had those legally added on back then.
