Looking for a name...
I'm looking for a girl's name that's of French origin...it can be French but it doesn't have to be. I was kind of looking for one that's French-sounding, but I really can't find one I like. Just wanted to see if anyone knows of any interesting names that I could use!
(I know all the up-and-coming authors are getting a bad rap at the moment, but the name is for a story I'm writing that's set in the mid-1870's, if that helps at all...the time period is probably why I'm having a hard time finding names!)

Why not read a French novel set in the period you are interested in? There must be seven million minor characters with usable names in Zola alone.

I came upon this posting in reserching the name Sidonie. I was amazed to find it, and this wonderful list of French names. I would like to known this information's source, and of other sites on first names and meanings.
The name i am going to give you isnt French, but it is one of my favorites. Gina is the name
