French sounding names??

Question

Hey, I really have this thing right now about french sounding girl names.

Right now i have:

Angeline/Angelina

Charlotte

Celeste

Claire

Clementine

Colette

Emilie

Eve

Gabrielle

Genevieve

Giselle

Juliette

Lucille/Lucy

Madeleine

Rosalie

Vivienne

Which do you like and what do they make you think of?

Answer 1

French smench, how about an American name. French, I hope she gets beat up repeatedly!  

Answer 2

I like Celeste, and Juliette, although I prefer just Julie.

Rosalie and Lucy are really nice too, but i don't think of those as French.

A lot of the other ones are too common right now. Like Madeleine, Emilie, Eve, and Gabrielle.

And I hate Giselle, because I always though it sounded like 19th century prostitute. (Lots of movies have hookers named Giselle, I think.)

I really like French names. Behindthename.com has a huge list of them.

My personally favorites are Melisande for a girl, and Maximilien or Etienne for a boy.  

Answer 3

My favorites:

Genevieve (what I want to name my future daughter)

Collette

Rosalie

Charlotte

Juliette

Vivienne

Answer 5

Answer 6

Bernadette, very pretty and it's French [:

Answer 7

They are all absolutely gorgeous. Feminine, delicate, beautiful.

Claire and Gabrielle are the two I care for least.  

Answer 8

Tip:  say NO to -a ending names, say YES to -ie and -e ending names

-Vivienne is an absolute favorite of mine!  10/10  Makes me think of someone elegant polite and soft-mannered

-Charlotte reminds me of someone who'd live around Jane Austen's times, sharp and witty

-Juliette seems much more modern (b/c it's so popular right now)

-Colette - really close to Cosette from Les Miserables.  I really like it

-Madeleine - Madeleine in the little blue cap (isn't it) ... from the children's tales, kinda cute

-Genevieve (GIN-eh-veev in US; jahn-vee-EVV in France) - someone with lots of positive energy, very sweet and talkative

Lucy would be Lucie and I'm not sure if Clementine is french... the -tine would be pronounced -teen if it was/is used as one (just so you know)

Answer 9

Angeline/Angelina -- i like Angeline

Charlotte -ok

Celeste- nt sure i like it

Claire - like it

Clementine - like it

Colette -- kinda in between

Emilie- like it althjough i like emeline better

Eve- for full name --> evangeline

Gabrielle reminds me to much of HSM +___+

Genevieve how do u pronounce??

Giselle not sure i like it

Juliette i love it ^^

Lucille/Lucy - lucille :]

Madeleine - luv it

Rosalie -- not sue..

Vivienne - like itt!

Answer 10

Madeleine makes me think of the children's book.

Genevieve is beautiful, and rare.

Of the rest of your list, I only like

Vivienne - have loved this name for a very long time

Giselle - heard this name as a child and thought it was so beautiful

Celestine (or Celeste) - very beautiful name.

While others on your list are lovely, they just are not names I prefer.  jmo

Blessings

Answer 11

Fleur and Amandeau (Pronounced Am-an-dwa or can be pronounced Am-an-doow) or Vivie (Vi-ve-en) Fleur and Amandeau are french names and Vivien is modern and sounds french.

Answer 14

I have a French first name that is, Mignon.  It's a beautiful name, one I grew to appreciate and when it came down to it, I let everyone know it was in the dictionary when they made fun of my name (teachers included).  Nickname is Nonnie.
