ArchivesBreton names
I found these on BtN's link to a site of Breton names. Does anyone have info on how to pronounce them, how much they're actually used in parts of France, or any other info? Thanks in advance.

I can't help you with pronunciation, but I can tell you that according to La cote des prenoms by Besnard & Desplanques, Maëlys (in that spelling, with one "l") is becoming generally popular in France these days. Between 1000 and 2000 girls were given this name in 2003.
The only other of the names you list that is included in that book is Rozenn, and it was rare, being given to only between 30 and 60 girls in the entire country in 2003. None of the other names above are listed in Besnard & Desplanques' book at all, so they must be exceedingly uncommon in France today.

The only info I can give you is that they'd probably only be found in Breton (northern area of France - aka Brittany, and where Great Britain's name comes from).
The Breton language is JUST now being reintroduced during these past few years and, from what I've been told, there are very few actually familiar with the language.
Quite a few of the names on your list look like Breton versions of other names though (Yoelle - Noel or Joel, Marriannick - Maryanne, etc)
