Sebastienne is a huge GP for me. As is Maximilienne, although it's not on the list. I don't think I could ever use them because in English they sound almost identical to Sebastian and Maximilian which are definitely boys' names.

I moderately like Odette. The others are far too dowdy.

Theophanee

Wow, Etiennette, Mathurine, Raphelle, and Sebastienne are pretty neat.

When my grandpa was in France during WWII, he fell in love with a girl named Pierrette. It's interesting how the French feminize all of their masculine names, probably because their language is gender specific. Sounds like you have some pretty cool names in your family history.

I like:

Esperance
Gabrielle
Nicolette

Oooh, I love Esperance!

I love love love Satine but only if it is pronounced correctly and by correctly I mean French, so I would only use it if I lived in Fance.
