Yayy French names :DTheo - is super common in France and bores me a bit. But it has a very nice sound and it is one of the few very common names I like :D
Baptiste - never cared for this and it has a very religious sound and image.
Enzo - kind of cute but also very common
Raphael - it looks nice but I dislike the nickname Raphi which is often used.
Basile - not my style
Lucas - soooo boring :(
Flavien - not a fan of the sound of this nameJuliette - crazy common in France (so is Julia and Julie was common quite recently too) but I like it.
Axelle - never cared for this
Louise - extremely common but the sound is fine
Oceane - okay, this is a huge guilty pleasure for me! I absolutely love the way this sounds and how it reminds me of the ocean and beautiful blue, green and golden colors! But it is one of the trendiest names ever in France, became super common super fast and then fell like a rock ;) I still love it. Maybe as a middle name paired with a classic first name. I kind of like Clara Oceane or Marie Oceane. But Clara and Marie are on their way down in France as well...Overall nothing too exciting but I love Juliette and Oceane!I am not adding the accents because I am lazy right now :PMy favorites:Anais
Camille
Delphine
Amandine
Elodie
Marie
Eliane
Karine and Carine
Noelle
Madeleine
Marie NoelleMany of them are dated and many of them were actually very common but I still love all of them :D
