So I was making a little genealogic research, and among the dozens of Anne, Jean, Louis and Madeleine I could find, some of my ancestors' names are quite interesting. I thought I would share :)
I want rather traditional names for my children, and SOME of them still sound good today...

Girls:

Perrette
Etiennette/Estiennette/Ethiennette
Zénaïde
Edmée
Jehanne
Octavie
Noée
Victoire
Héloïse
Palmyre
Sidonie
Guillemette
Panassine
Athénaïs
Magdalène
and I even found Alexandre on a woman, how strange.

Boys:

Gaspard
Isidor
Auguste
Barthélémy
Urbain
Désiré
Octave
Mathurin
Roch
Firmin
Toussaint
