HelpRoman Catholic French names
WDYT of these names I've just heard on a tv show about Roman Catholics in France (the discussion was about giving the kids very Christian names or not):
girls
Pascalie (pas-kal-ee, "a" more or less like "ah")
Pascaline (pas-kal-een)
Pénélope (peh-neh-lop, check Penelope - "eh" more or less like "men")
boys
Pasquale (pas-kwal-eh)
Pascalis (pas-kal-is)
Ganelon (gan-ul-own, gan-lown)
Imo the Pascal- names are nice on a Christian, Pasquale is nms, Pénélope is cute but nms, and Ganelon is totally impossible in France (http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/songofroland/terms/char_5.html), like Judas or Pontius. Here "he's a traitor" can be said "he's a Judas" or "he's a Ganelon", so yeah...
