Help[Opinions] Re: French names
in reply to a message by Kelly R.
This is using my Quebec French and presuming I still lived here, I wouldn't use half of them because they'd be pronounced in English and I'm not French at all. Some of these are also just names I hear on Francophone kids or are popular in Quebec.
Boys Maxime, Alexandre, Adrien, Alain (not one I'd use but I like it well enough), Anatole (not one I've heard before but it's alright), Antoine (I know one), Bastien (Sebastien), Benoit, Bertrand, Matthieu, Victor, Simon, Christophe, David, Dimitri, Eric, Frederic, Gregoire, Guillaume, Jeremie, Luc, Marc, Michel, Nicholas, Phillip (e), Pierre, Thierry, Yannick.
Girls
Camille, Amelie, Emilie, Sophie, Elise, Marine, Aurore, Charlotte (me), Claire, Corinne, Eleonore, Eloise, Eve, Genevieve, Ghislane, Gisele, Gwenaelle, Isabel, Lea, Lucie, Madeline, Marise, Melisande, Natalie, Noelle, Orianne, Renee, Rosalie, Sarah, Simone, Zoe.
Realistically I meet more kids with English names Francophonized that anything can be a French name. Patrick can be use in French, It just how it's pronounced. My name (Charlotte) is pronounced differently from English to French. I went with name with French French origins mostly, excepting Simon and a few other boys' names.
