Re: Unusual French names
in reply to a message by Shaymin
I think most of these are uncommon for a good reason, although I like a few of them. Similien and Derrien are intriguing, as are Cantienne, Rolende and Namadie (that last one sort of looks like one of Tolkien's elves). Pudentienne sounds dirty somehow, not sure why. They are definitely interesting!
Incidentally, I had a French-Canadian ancestor named Zotique in the 1800s so it wasn't an unheard-of name in Quebec apparently.
