You probably saw these in my post.
I haven't been able to find anything out about their origin or meaning, despite the fact that the names are borne by many individuals in French-Canada.

Azilde is found alternatively as Azilda, Asilda
I've also seen Exilda

Exine is found alternatively as Exina

Some related suggestions from my book of saints:
Asella
Auxilius
Azadanes
Exanthus

I too would love to know more about their origin and meaning.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help =/

Thanks for trying. So I take it they're saints' names? That's interesting.

Well, I'm finding out usually some of the seemingly odder names bestowed on children in French-Canada can be traced to names of obscure medieval saints.
