You're right about Chantal Marie-Philippe. Fantastic combination.
I'm also feeling Caroline some though.

Personal favourite French names coming to mind:
Amélie
Clementine
Juliette
Cyrielle
Maxine
idk.... I like a lot and I can't think.

Let us know what you decide please?

Unfortunately, Chantal Marie-Philippe is an "impossible name", from what I know it doesn't exist. I wish I didn't have to choose my name, it's very difficult and it feels unnatural. >.

doesn't exist?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You need a name that is already borne by someone else?

I would rather choose a name that somebody already has, yes. Because having an unique name (that no one else has) would probably get me too much attention, which I don't really want. Honestly, "Chantal Marie-Philippe" would make people laugh at me badly. >.

Okay, I don't understand the culture, I don't think. That wouldn't make people laugh here. I'm confused. But good luck?

Hmmm I agree that here it wouldn't make you stand out. Or at least not anymore than having the name Chantal would since Chantal is such an uncommon name. Most people don't actually know your middle name so it's not going to make you stand out anymore or less. Most people who aren't name nerds don't pay much attention to combos. Most people are going to give the most attention to your first name and anything uncommon will make you stand out.
