Re: French double names, anyone? (and Hilary)
in reply to a message by Dot
I definitely think French double names can work outside French speaking countries and I don't think they're pretentious. More like sophisticated. I think double French names for girls are more accepted but personally I love French boy names.
Marie-Cécile is lovely but I'm not very fond of the Léonide -combos.
French boy names I like: Jean, Guillaume, Thibault, Étienne, Loïc, Hénri, Marc, Alexandre
Hénri-Étienne, Marc-Étienne, Jean-Guillaume, Jean-Thibault, Marc-Alexandre, Loïc-Alexandre...(the possibilities are endless :)
And don't separate the names if you want a double name.
