Please help! I am French Canadian and my husband is American, and the double difficulty of finding a name that sounds good to both of us is going to drive me crazy. It has to be on the short side (one or two syllables ideally), since the last name is long (McIntyre). It has to be easy to say in both languages, and I would prefer if it wasn’t too popular in neither the US or Montreal, where we might move eventually (so no :[name]LEA[/name], [name]FLORENCE[/name], [name]EMMA[/name], [name]ROSALIE[/name] , [name]JADE[/name], [name]JULIETTE[/name], [name]CAMILLE[/name] , [name]GABRIELLE[/name], [name]MAIKA[/name], [name]MIA[/name], [name]NOEMIE[/name] or [name]OLIVIA[/name]).
Any ideas?
