French Girls Names
I'm currently reading a book about French women, and I've fallen in love with the beautiful French names.
What are some of your favorite French names?
And, if you had a daughter (or two, or three), and had use French names, what would you choose?

I named my daughters Caroline and Beatrice, so all I'd need to do is change the pronunciation slightly.
