Wolfride and Calixte are really interesting. :)

Though I don't pronounce my son's name French, the spelling technically is (Lucien) and Josephine and Juliet are on my short list for possible baby girls' names someday. I also love Lucille after someone I knew growing up, but a friend of mine already has a daughter named Lucy (short for Lucrezia, after her Italian gma).

Rad, my mom's side is French Canadian too... we traced the line back to the mid-1600s when they came over from France. If I overcome my laziness I will share the names.

Wolfride is pretty badass.
