I have a Francophone friend who is the mother to five children (two boys, three girls): Ugo-Frederik and Tristan, then Dianne, Solene, and Elsarose.

WDYT? I quite like Tristan and Solene in particular, but the only one that I really dislike is Elsarose (who, though she is the youngest, I can say she was born before Frozen came out, and yes, she is referred to as Elsarose all the time, with no nickname).

Dianne feels a bit stuck in time because I know so many middle age women, but I think it makes a very nice name for a child, as does Solene. Tristan I know a lot of people like it but personally not a fan. The three of them do make a lovely French sibset.

Ugo-Frederik, love both names & they sound great together but spelling will always be a problem.

Elsarose, again I love the names individually but I think its just too cutsey together.

I've always liked the French pronunciation of Dianne (dee-anne) and Solene is beautiful as well. I've noticed a trend in giving little French girls double 'English names' like Elsarose. The Canadian Prime Minister's daughter is named Ella-Grace, and Johnny Depp's daughter is Lily-Rose. Seems to be a popular thing.

As a francophone myself, I was quite partial to Hugo when I was pregnant. I also like Solene (or does she spell it Solène?).

I've only seen her spell it on Facebook, but I'm fairly certain she spells it Solene (she adds the appropriate accents to other words).
