Help[Opinions] Re: French names from the 16th to the early 20th century
in reply to a message by Arialblack
That's very inresting!
I live in a French-speaking community(sorry to keep repeating that, but, for new people on the board)and some of the names you mention are in use, though not all.
Pierrette and Etienette are fairly common; I know a few of each.
Re:the male names, I have come across Gaspard and Isidor, though only on elderly men.
Roch, however, is not uncommon on younger people...for example, no-one would find it strange to learn a new baby was being named Roch.
