French Names and Their Nicknames

Girl Names
1

I’ve always loved [name_m]French[/name_m] names, and especially their nicknames (they’re so delightfully frou frou!). Last year I got engaged to my boyfriend who is [name_m]French[/name_m]-Canadian with a very [name_m]French[/name_m] name ([name_m]Jacques[/name_m]!), and recently we got onto the [name_u]Future[/name_u] Kid’s Names conversation. For a boy we want to honor his grandfather, [name_m]Mathias[/name_m]. For a girl, we have a few ideas:

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gigi[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Honore[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Angelique[/name_f] nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] nn [name_f]Coco[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cece[/name_f].

But we’d love more suggestions! The more frou frou and [name_m]French[/name_m], the better!
