HelpRe: French names from film "L'homme aux cercles bleus"
in reply to a message by Felie
Hi :)
Jean-Baptiste 5/10 - a very classic combo in France but it now seems a bit dated. Combo names aren't as common anymore as they used to be and if they are used now it's usually not such a classic combo. A couple of decades ago combo names were very popular especially with classic Jean and Marie. So in the top 100 you would not just find Marie but also Marie-France, Anne-Marie, Marie-Claude etc. Now these names are not so common anymore. Jean-Baptiste is quite religious sounding too.
Mathilde 9/10 - this was extremely popular until recently and is now losing popularity. I like it a lot but it doesn't seem fresh anymore.
Adrien 5/10 - I was never a fan of Adrian or Adrien. They are not bad but I don't really care for them. I do kind of like Adrienne for a girl. Not such a big fan of Adriana, it is fine but I much prefer Arianna.
Louis 6/10 - this used to be a favorite of mine, it is very classic, but I just don't care for it anymore.
Charles 5/10 - I always think of Charles of England.
Camille 8/10 - apart from the fact that it is way too common in France I really like it. It's so pure and clean, I can't really describe it but it makes me think of white flowers, white towels, white linen sheets, the smell of soap.
Violette - 5/10 to be honest I much prefer the English Violet. I also prefer Viola with the English pronunciation.
Joseph 5/10 - nothing wrong with it but not very exciting either.
Jean-Hugues 2/10 - I never saw this combo used, it seems a bit weird to me.
Charlotte 2/10 - ahh this is one of my least favorites. I just don't like the sound.
Jacques 5/10 - classic but really bland.
Jean-Pierre 5/10 - like Jean-Baptiste but not so religious.
Stanislas 2/10 - sounds harsh
Hélène - 6/10 - cute but not special, prefer Helena.
Corinne - 5/10 - okay, a bit dated.
Didier 4/10 - I know a few and they all get called Didi :(
Philippe 5/10 - fine, because of its meaning I think it would be cute on a horse like in Beauty and the Beast. I like Philippa for a girl better.

Hi Perrine !!
Thank you verh much.
Your opinion is important for me.
Jean-Baptiste: I know it is religious but has a nice sound! Giambattista is horrible here. Jean-Baptiste is more elegant. I quite like also Baptiste alone.
Louis it is still among my favourites. Luigi has an harsh sound to me. I much prefer Ludovico (from Ludwig) as Italian form.
Camille: nearly same opinion of you. Pure and charming. Very feminine. I like it very much.
Violette: at the opposite of you I hate Violet and Viola (every pronounciation). I much prefer Violette and Violetta (Italian form). I really like Violetta but this increased in popularity right now because of an Argentinian soap opera. It became cheesy and it is a pity.
Charlotte; I've loved this sound since I was a child but you already know my passion for -tte names XD
Jacques I like it very much for its sound. Well..I prefer Jack but Jacques is lovely as well.
Didier: I really like this particular French name. It is fascinating. Is it so popular? I dislike NNs like you.
