I'm fairly proficient in French, so I LOVE French names. :)

I adore France (and French names)! I was an exchange student in France a few years ago.

---

My favorites:
Guillaume - I love this one soo much! I think it's so handsome, so sophisticated, so French.
Étienne - lovely name, and I like the fact that it's a normal French name and yet it has a very special feeling, like Darcy for a boy.
Loïc - isn't this just so macho and strong and handsome?
Guy - I like both the French and English pronunciation but the French pronunciation is more sophisticated but it still has a similar feeling as Loïc.
Lately Thibault has grown on me a lot but I'm still not sure if it's a new favorite.

---

For girls I like Amandine a lot but there are so many nice French names and the best thing is that an ordinary name like Charles or George/s/ sounds so much better with a French pronunciation.

Bastien
Benoit
Ghislain
Gratien
Irenee
Onesime

Woohoo! How long are you going for?

I think my favourite French name is Marjolaine. I like a lot of other ones, but this definitely stands out to me.

The only one I can think of is Solange. This was mentioned as being the name of Scarlett O'Hara's French maternal grandmother in "Gone With the Wind", and I've always liked it.

I have a French heritage too. Or well, there isn't much Frenchness (is that even a word?) left in me though, since my family came to Sweden in 1740 :P Except from the French surname, and my French/English FN (Nicole).
