Amandine - It's funny because, when I'm thinking up combos,
Amandine is one of my default mns, but I really don't care for it that much. It's better than
Amanda, but still nms.
Colette - Looove it, but love the similar
Cosette even more. Lately I've been loving nn Coe.
Coralie - Cute, but I can't imagine it on anyone over 5.
Cora is beautiful though and I think
Coralie would make a nicer nn than fn.
Emmanuelle - Gorgeous! One of my favorites. It's so elegant and stately.
Laure - Beautiful. One of my favorite mns (
Octavia Laure is a favorite of mine)
Pascale - I love it, but I've been having trouble with mns.
Yvette - I'm usually a big fan of *ette names (
Odette,
Cosette, and
Nicolette are all favorites of mine), but
Yvette has always seemed tacky to me for some reason.
Aristide - I'd love to meet one!
Ari would make a nice nn.
Armand - Again, I'd be so happy if I met one but I wouldn't use it.
Constantin - I prefer
Constantine.
Constantin looks incomplete to me.
Gerard - Nms, but not awful.
Leon - I
much prefer
Leo.
Leon makes any combo seem like a command, imo. Like
Leon Gerard for example sounds like "lean on
Gerard" to me. Does that make any sense?
Marius -
Love it! Such a cool name.
Sebastien - Makes me think of my super hot French teacher. :P I do prefer the English
Sebastian, but I love both.
Thierry - Not bad, but definitely not my favorite from your list.
