As a native Frenchman, I can tell that some of these names aren't actually used here. It's kind of like Bijou, Jolie, Beau, Cherie, Rochelle, etc. - they're of French origin, but not used as names in France.

---

Aveline- I don't think I've ever met an Aveline.
Bale- never heard this before, actually.
Bellamy- Nope, we don't use this as a name.
Cabot- Maybe as a surname. Definitely not as a given name!
Coralie- The meaning's correct, and it is used here.
Danton- I've never heard of anyone with this as a name.
Elize- I've never heard of an Elize, but I kinda like it.
Henri- pretty common name here.
Janvier- I've never heard of anyone named Janvier. The meaning is correct, though.
Jorden- I've never met anyone with this as a name. I know a few Jordans (all male).
Landry- I've only encountered this as a surname, never as a given name. It is a saint's name, but it's more of a historical name as opposed to one used in modern times.
Luc- I know a few Lucs. It's okay.
Marielle- I kinda like this
Montgomery- I thought Montgomery was a Scottish surname?
Solene- I've seen this in real life.
Mathis- God, this name's soooo trendy here. I have two cousins with sons named Mathis. But I do like it.
Anaelle- this is French. I don't care for it.
Olivier- it's common here. A little dated, but I like it.
Fleur- flower
Remi- It's a variant spelling of Remy, and technically there's an accent over the E.
