18th century French boys names?

Writers' Corner

I’m in the very early plotting stages of a side project, and I’m thinking of making the male lead an 18th century Frenchman. I need a name that is plausible for the 1700s, but that also works in present day [name]England[/name]/USA (or has an English variant/nickname). Current ideas:

French name (without accents) -> English name/nickname

[name]Jacques[/name] -> [name]Jack[/name]
[name]Pascal[/name] -> [name]Pax[/name]
Éduoard ([name]Edouard[/name])-> [name]Edward[/name], [name]Ed[/name]
Sébastien ([name]Sebastien[/name])-> [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Bastien[/name]
[name]Honor[/name]é ([name]Honore[/name]) -> [name]Noah[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name] -> [name]Gabriel[/name], [name]Gabe[/name]
[name]Maximilien[/name] -> [name]Maximilian[/name], [name]Max[/name]
[name]Nicolas[/name] -> [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Klaus[/name]
[name]Henri[/name] -> [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Alexandre[/name] -> [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Lex[/name]
[name]Charles[/name] -> [name]Charles[/name], [name]Chuck[/name]
[name]Michel[/name] -> [name]Michael[/name], [name]Micah[/name]

But none of them are really standing out at me. Any other ideas?
