How about Amélie?
I like:

Ophelie
Clemence

Clothilde is one of my absolute favourites. I ran into it in France, and I never thought I would like it, but seeing it on an actual girl made me love it so much.

I like Elodie, Fleur, Lea, and Lilou. Some are too dated (for instance, I have several great aunts named Clemence). Others just remind me of people I never liked (Manon, Maelle).

I don't think Maeva is French -- maybe Breton or some other regional language, but not French.

Besides that, I love Leonie, Maëlys (pronounced the correct way) and Salomé. I like the sound of Faustine, too, but who would want to name their kid after Faust?

Fleur is pretty.

wow... is Salome french? makes it so much more appealing to me. Its a family name that i have been thinking of using. but am still unsure. *sighs*

I'm surprised, but I don't like ANY of them AT ALL.

Isaline? That's fantastic. I have to tell my sister about that one.

I've always liked the name Inez for a girl... When I was a young'un, I wrote a story that involved sisters named Inez and Pilar, my favorite names at the time. ;)
