I like a great majority of feminine French names. They are so ethereal and soft. For me, male French names are harder to like for that same reason. But, I do like:

---

Remy
Gaspard
Guillaume
Alexandre
Baptiste
Bastien
Edgard
Edmond
Emile
Etienne
Lazare
Leopold
Lucas / Luc
Maximilien
Thibault
Toussaint
Vespasian

But of course. I adore French names. All of the names on your list are wonderful, but my favorites would have to be: Aurélie, Aurore, Fleur (is that really used in France / French speaking areas?), Gisèle, Jeanne, Charles, Laurent, Rémy and Thierry. To them I would add:

---

Melisande, Eugénie, Oriane, Marguerite / Margot, Frederique, Ghislaine, Isabeau, Severine, Angèle, Noël, Sandrine, Faustine, Germaine, Gervaise, Colombe, Hortense, Martine, Inès, Sylvie, Zephyrine, Huguette, Pascale, Solene, Valerie, Celeste, Juvéline, Janvière, Jacobée, Léonie, Léontine, and many, many more.

I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert in French names. So if I've gotten any of the above wrong, please let me know. A real French speaker would probably laugh at some of them, I know. But I can't help myself. :-)
