Finally picked out the French names! Thoughts?

(surname: de Billy) I wanted to give them French names that were both modern and pronounceable for my Anglo family! LOL!

Boy: Alexandre de Billy
Girl: Chloé de Billy

OH says it should be Chloée... any Francophone girls here know?

I love the names! x

http://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Chloe shows the french version as being Chloé. I've only seen it spelled that way but both with or without the accent. Never seen a double 'e' version.

Like the names!

Very nice . xx

My niece is called Chloe with two dots over the 'o' and she is half French and has been brought up in France. My nephew is called Aurelien, I like that or a version of that for a girl more than a boy though. My friend Lisa has had her baby in France with a frenchman and she is called Oceane, which obviously means Ocean and is pronounced Ocee-anne.

definatly Chloé
the double ée is done on verbs and nouns/adjectives, but not in names,
maybe in ancient spelling from the 17th century

I personally J'adore French Names!
My Name Is Esmée So Its Tough If I Didn't!
Love The Choices Though, They Are Versatile Names!
