HelpRe: French BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Rayan- I`ve seen this often but can`t seem to find any information on it. I should probably ask the facts board.
The boys names are for the most part decent, though I`m frustrated by the prevalence of the super-Irish Liam. Insaff is very bizarre. Girls, stranger, as usual. Colleen Shirley sounds like a 1970`s Midwestern American woman. This is why I don`t like names crossing cultures: the parents have no idea of the associations with that name in its original place of origin. I really hate Ozéline. It reminds me of the antibiotic cream Ozenol. Réjane is interesting: I wrongly thought that and Réjean were only used in Québec.
I like Ziyad, Mael, Léo, Adam, Maxence, Ismael, Simon, Mila, Léana, and Elina.

I found this on Rayan:
Of Persian origin, coming from 'rayyan' meaning shining, radiant, beautiful
Also used as a variant of Irish Ryan.
Totally agree about Colleen Shirley! - very odd.
INSEE (French name database) records use of Réjane in France from 1900, but it's always been rare. Its peak was 1951 with 325 uses.
