My husband Christian is from France, so there are quite a few names of French origin. His top girl pick was Sophie, but it's quite popular. He's now stuck on Anaïs and Francoise. His top pick for a boy is Julien. What do you think of these names and are there any you would suggest? Siblings are George and Philomena.

Anaïs (He's really set on this)
Anoushka
Mathilde
Francoise
Ottilie (honoring his sister Odile)
Eloise / Heloise
Alix
Amalia
Sabine
Nico
Bethsabee (French version of Bathsheba)
Colette
Cosette

Pippi
Margot
Ariadne
Aurelie

Marie Catherine
Paloma (kinda funny with our last name, which also means dove)
Fiammetta
Lucie
Eugenie (his Grandmother's name)
Christabel (in honor of Christian)
He also wants to use Jessamine or Jessamy, which would honor me, a Jessica, though we would probably put this in the middle if we use it.
