Yesterday, I was having some late night prose-related thought and it suddenly dawned on me that I needed a French, old lady-chic name. I went through the list on BtN and even after a long night's sleep, Bertille (which I imagine is pronounced something like behr-TEE) really stuck with me.

---

What do you think of Bertille?

---

What do you think of the clunky chic names I picked out from the list of French names, while awake this time?

---

It's a long list, so don't feel you have to comment on every single name!

Agathe
Albertine
Albine
Alphonsine
Blandine
Clotilde
Elvire
Émilienne
Florentine
Gilberte (Gilbert for a chap, en français, is also very endearing)
Honorine
Josèphe
Laurentine
Léopoldine
Ludivine
Magalie
Maximilienne
Pétronille
Rosemonde
Victorine

Also, how do we all feel about Océane?

Much obliged!
