Florent is interesting, but I think I prefer Laurent.Mamadou is fun. Perhaps it's an Algierian / African / Islamic name. It reminds me of Marmaduke (sp?) and Mamluk / Mamaluke Egyptians. Tran is definitely Vietnamese. Magali is gorgeous. I'm stealing it and adding it to my long list. Thanks! Is it a form of Marguerite?Mattieu sounds like I'm trying to say Matthew while sneezing. I know that's an ignorant thing to say, but I can't shake the feeling.
