French name - easy/ straightforward pronunciation in English!

Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

We are trying to come up with name ideas for our baby girl due in [name_u]January[/name_u] but not loving any of the names on our list :frowning:

I would love if you could send me some of your favorite girl names that are 1) [name_u]French[/name_u] of origin (I’m [name_u]French[/name_u] Canadian and want to honor my heritage), 2) pretty straightforward to pronounce in [name_f]English[/name_f] (we live in the US) and 3) are pretty classic/ recognizable but not too popular.

Thanks in advance for any and all ideas!
