I just met an
Emmanuelle from
France who goes by "
Manu."
I think the name fits okay with
Theodora and
Daphne, but not
Barnaby or
Rufus. It's just so French that distinctly English usage names don't fit with it.
I might try
Alix,
Adeline (French prn.), or
Carine.
I like it equally for girls and boys. I prefer the English rather than the French pronunciation for boys though.
I do like it, it has a great flow.
