A few comments for clarity:
Esme would be Esmée on a girl, and is hardly used.
Amélie also takes an accent. Eloïse too needs a special character, and Edmée too. And Joséphine, and Léa, and Océane, and Salomé, and Sébastienne (hardly used), Séraphine, Séverine,
Maximilienne is hardly used, so is Verene (Vérène actually).
Benoît takes an accent. Fiacre is not used anymore at all. Josué needs an accent. Léopolod too. Loïc has two points. Rémy an accent. Sébastien too.

Umm...I didn't need clarifying
...I just can't type the accents with my keyboard and I don't remember the codes to do so. That doesn't mean I don't spell them that way, I just can't type them on the computer that way.
It doesn't matter if a name is hardly used, she just asked what our favorite French names are and to my knowledge, even though they aren't used they still retain their French heritage.
