Of the suggestions you already have on your list I like Mathilde best with Camille coming in second place for the girls and Loic for a boy.
About the names you have already given, I don't like the fact that they each have 3 names. I like Axelle a lot but I know most other people likely won't and you will get the "It sounds like a car part" a lot. I also like Corrine and don't mind Marie (especially since it has such a huge history as a name). I have never been a fan of Vincent but I like Louis Thibault.
