I LOVE French names: they're so pretty, elegant, romantic and classy. One can never go wrong with them. I just love France in general for the people and culture: they're educated, intelligent, well-dressed, artsy, and beautiful. There's a certain romance pertaining to French culture.
- Alix
- Ariane
- Adèle
- Chloé
Origin:
GreekMeaning:
"young green shoot"Description:
French form of Chloé. A popular choice with French-speaking parents, though people elsewhere may associate it most with luxury handbags.
- Camille
- Danette
- Danielle
- Emilie
- Gabrielle
- Laure
- Mirabelle
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"marvelous"Description:
If you're looking for a fresher belle name than Isabelle, Mirabelle is lovely, and we also like the extra flourish of Mirabella. And if you want a nature tie, Mirabelle is also the name of a delicate French plum.
- Nanine
- Nannette
- Nanon
Origin:
French, diminutive of AnnDescription:
Sweet and endearing, à la Mignon and Manon.
- Nicolette
Origin:
French, diminutive of Nicole, feminine variation of Nicholas, GreekMeaning:
"people of victory"Description:
Nicolette is the ultra-feminine name of an enchanting princess in the medieval French romance, Aucassin et Nicolette, a name that got stacks of publicity in the heyday of Desperate Housewives and its star Nicolette Sheridan. It was also the name of Chloe Sevigny's character in Big Love.
- Sevastiane
- Sylvette
- Sylvianne
- Sylvie
Origin:
French variation of Latin SylviaMeaning:
"from the forest"Description:
Although Sylvia seems to be having somewhat of a revival among trendsetting baby namers, we'd still opt for the even gentler and more unusual Sylvie. Despite being dated in its native France (where it was popular during the 1950s and 60s), in English-speaking regions it still feels fresh and international without being unfamiliar and has a cosmopolitan, international air. It debuted on the US Top 1000 in 2016.
