HelpRe: Uncommon names I've encountered
in reply to a message by hello_1234
Have you met anyone by any of these names, are any of these names more common where you live?
Paule and Sylvie are names that were common in my mother's generation in Québec. My Mom's best friend is named Sylvie and my friend's mom is named Paule.
Samira and Maëlle, I've seen amongst my students.
I met one Yaël and one Apolline when I did student exchange in France.
As for the others, I've never met anyone named that in real life. I remember some reality TV contestant named Bénédicte. Like, I have not met her personally, but it exists. Same for Viggo of course, the King of Gondor. ;-) But these don't count.
