french names- any ideas?

firsttimemaman · Dec 31st, 2008, 14:11 PM

Hello,
My husband and I are french-speaking Canadians and we're having a hard time finding baby names that can be said in french AND in english. I like names that are different and unique. So far, the only names I love can only be properly said in english (LIke for example Emery, Emersyn, Carys for girls and Camden, Cordell and Bryler for boys)...
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!!!

I had a girlfriend in Montreal who's name is Dominique, which I thought was very pretty. She shortened it to "Dom". Vivianne was also a nice one. I can't think of any boys names. All the men I knew there were either David or Guillaume, lol.

I have a friend named Emmanuel, too. It's a good name, even if he is a total goof ball lol

My name is Genevieve, I love my name because I don't meet many people with it! I love french names as well and if my baby is a girl her name will be Adel... Having a hard time finding a middle one though.
