Would like to know what people think of the following French girl names, maybe you could rate them 1-10 (1 bad, 10 good) Im not naming a baby right now but I have a list for future reference and am trying to find unique names that work in French & US culture, the starred names are on my list. I'm horrible at explaining the pronunciation of any name so I hope theyre ok.

---

Marieve* - (pronounced like Mah-ree-Ehv) combo of Marie and Eve, (I think its a nice middle name alternative to Marie)

---

Bérangère* - (bay rahn ZHEHR/ soft "g" like Genevieve) means Glorious Spear

---

Ombeline* - (omb eh leen) means "a rare jem"

---

Aubeline (oh buh LEEN) a variation on Dawn

---

Nadège - (Nah Dezh -like mirage) means Hope, french variation of Russian name Nadezhda/Nadia

---

Mazarine* - (meh-zah-reen) a shade of blue

---

Josiane* - (zho zee ahn) variation of Josephine

---

*Argider -Basque name means light/beauty "light of beauty". This is actually a boys name, (I believe the Basque have a hard "g" as in "go" so Im not sure if this is Arj eh deer or AHRje dee but my instincts say soft G since it's on French sites.
