Guillaume Canet is a French actor, film director and screenwriter and show jumper. Canet began his career in theatre and television before moving to film. He starred in several films like Joyeux Noël, Love Me If You Dare and The Beach. In 2006, he turned to writing and directing with Tell No One and won a César Award for Best Director.
The name Guillaume was pretty popular in France in the beginning of the 20th century, experienced a decline from the 1930's to the 1970's, and became very popular in the 1980's. It was the 48th most popular name given to boys in the 20th century.
I love this name. It looks so elegant and romantic. I like the sound of it as well, the pronunciation may need correcting at first, but it's a beautiful name regardless.
My sister always planned on naming a child Guillaume, until it occured to her that it is pronounced Gee-om, like the Dublin slang for female genital, gee.
