I really like Calais - I have a soft spot for unusual place names.
Bellefleur is nice, maybe a bit cutesy. And I really don't like Belle as a nickname.
Clairdelune is really too cutesy for me, and Fleurentine feels too frilly.

Calais is a place in France. I don't think it is overly "namey". It is where you'd find people catching the ferry to or from the UK.
Fleurentine, Clairdelune and Bellefleur sound like names you'd find in a YA fantasy book.

I love Calais, like Fleurentine, prefer Blanchefleur over Bellefleur and dislike Clairdelune, since it's too silly as a name.
Calais is interesting, but doesn't go with the others.
I like the others. It has a magical faerie type feel.
Other names that go with these are Belphoebe, Briarrose, Callalily, and Rosabelle.

I could live happily with Clare, Florence and Isobel. Calais defeats me utterly.
Calais was the name of an Oldsmobile model. It was pronounced KAL-LAY, equal stress like in French, not like kuh-LAY, which I think sounds too much like Kelly. I see that apparently Calais is a name for a person. It's kind of neat! but I personally can't get past the Oldsmobile. It sounds like a luxury car to me, and I feel like it would seem too precious in English. On either gender. I wouldn't have a preference. This reminds me, I heard recently of a guy whose first name is Calley. I thought that was kinda neat. Calley, Kelly, Calais all seem like either-gender names to me.
Clairdelune kinda sounds to me like a name for a fancy urban restaurant & bar. I appreciate how it'd be a romantic's GP, though!
Fleurentine seems like it could actually be a French name for a person, but sort of overwrought because Flor* is used in French too. It's okay.
Bellefleur to me sounds like a name for a person. Not my style, and -lfl- is a hard sound to make. It comes out basically Bell-uh-flir ... not exactly pretty imo, but it would make a neat middle name. A hundred times cooler than Bellatrix.

They seem awfully embellished. Except for Calais.
I think these names would make interesting middle names but I wouldn't choose them for first names.
