If baby number three (due in march) is a girl I would really like her to have a [name_m]French[/name_m] name. My mom, daughter ([name_f]Corinne[/name_f]), and I all have [name_m]French[/name_m] names and I don’t want to leave the little one out. I love old [name_m]French[/name_m] names like [name_f]Antoinette[/name_f], and even mid-century Frenchified names like [name_f]Suzette[/name_f]. My husband is more into names like [name_f]Marie[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. Any ideas? Thanks!
My DH and I also have a fondness for [name_m]French[/name_m] names! We like [name_f]Colette[/name_f], [name_f]Yvette[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f].
