These pop up on my feeds all the time. Some I think make sense (Aveline is already getting momentum, but I don't think people are choosing it for is French-ness).

---

Lilou makes sense with the trends of Lily, Lila, Lola and Luna... but I don't see it getting huge.

---

Fleur is becoming more popular because of Harry Potter, but I am sure it has never really been off the radar.

---

Solene (while I adore this name!) I do not see rising at all, because the pronunciation is simply un-natural for Americans to say. That is the reason we didn't use it ourselves.

---

Bastian, Coralie, Luc, Mathis, Remi and Leandre have been around for a while and people are not necessarily considering the origins when they choose it. I would say Remi gets chosen a lot because of the footballers with the name, Coralie is standard trend right now, Bastian is honoring generations of Sebastians already, etc.

---

Elize I could see bumping up, Kais for sure (uber trendy), Louna maybe and Melia sure. Kylian will not push out Killian or Cillian.

---

Marielle will stick to the same lit-friendly crowds I think. I agree that it is a dated choice and not sure it will seem cool just yet.

---

All in all though - I like this list better than most of the "Upcoming French Names" lists.
