Yannick
Maxime (x3, don't know if boys or girls)
Maelle
Kaëlle
Jaelle
Brooklyn (x2, don't know if boys or girls)
Chloe (x2)
Emma

Once I saw the third "aelle" I feared my eyes would roll out of my head.

How are the names Maelle, kaelle, and Jaelle pronounced?

Since it's a mostly francophone community, probably rhyming with hah-yell, but the 'y' sound would be barely pronounced. For Jaelle, the j is pronounced like the 's' in 'treasure' or like Zsa-Zsa Gabor.
