Francoise makes me think instantly of Francoise Gilot, the beautiful (and gutsy) woman who was "married" to Picasso - and the only one of his women to ever leave him. It is so sleek and strong and artistic without an ounce of flakiness. I love that Francoise's children were named Claude, Paloma, and Aurelia.

I like Francoise Tullia (love the idea of dark, straight-laced Francoise in tulle) and Francoise Enid - it seems fitting to pair the name of a silently suffering woman with that of a warrior of self-respect. Griselda Francoise would also be fitting that way.
