I'm not a big fan of French names, but I do like Arielle for a girl :-)(Also Esmee, but I don't really consider that French because it isn't used there. It was actually first used in Scotland, although it's of French origin of course.)_____________________________________________________________________"There are few more distressing sights than that

Lilou is indeed very trendy in France, although I still don't know if it is a legitimate name, and from which origin...
