babynamesI met a family from France today and the children were named:
Charlotte
Clemence (Clay-mohnce... the "n is very soft)
Etienne (Ay-tee-ehn)
They were lovely. What are your favorite french names, and which ones do you hate?

I really dislike Margaux (but like Margot) and Cyrielle... those are the two I can think of off the top of my head. I would like Amélie, but it's used far too frequently as a pretentious baby name in the U.S. for me to be wholehearted about it.
