We’re having our first and likely only baby- a girl. He is French and has a last name that sounds like “trap”
We live in the [name]Bay[/name] Area. Would like something that translates well into both languages.
My family is Scandinavian American.
I like more unique names, he is very picky (of course because of his Frenchness!).
We’ll have 2 middle names, [name]Helene[/name] after may mother-in-law and one of my choice.
I really like [name]Elodie[/name] - one of my new favorites. From your list that is the only one that really catches my eye.
A few other suggestions:
[name]Adrienne[/name]
[name]Veronique[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name]/[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Sandrine[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Eugenia[/name]
I like [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Adele[/name], [name]Alix[/name], [name]Leonie[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name]. I think they sound good with English and French pronunciations ( I speak French.) Have you thought of [name]Astrid[/name]? I think it sounds lovely in English and French and it’s not to common - at least in the USA.Good luck! I just love French names - anything sounds beautiful with their pronunciation.
From your list my favourites are [name]Leonie[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Adele[/name], [name]Anouk[/name], [name]Clementine[/name], and [name]Freya[/name]. I also really love [name]Anais[/name], have you considered her?
From your list [name]Elodie[/name] was the only one that caught my attention as a first name to go with [name]Helene[/name]…like
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Helene[/name] [name]Adela[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Helene[/name] [name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Helene[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
Thanks for the ideas! [name]Sandrine[/name] may end up the 2nd middle name because my mother is [name]Sandra[/name]. Eugemie is beautiful. [name]Elodie[/name] is great as well…
[name]Astrid[/name] is a great choice too but there is a distant relative with that name.
[name]Apolline[/name] has been catching my eye too.
Would Americans pronounce [name]Lucina[/name] with an ‘s’ or ‘ch’? I like the s with a nickname Cina.
Cute or too hard to pronounce?
I like many names on your list. I love [name]Anouk[/name], [name]Freya[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], and [name]Clementine[/name] (or [name]Clemence[/name]). I Agree that [name]Anais[/name] would be a nice choice too.
