Name for set of Inès, Amélie, and Léna

Writers' Corner

Hi everyone!

I am working on a story that is set in a French boarding school for the arts and while these girls are not sisters yet, they will be at the end (found family trope best trope). The three girls established are fully French. There will be one more girl in their friend group. I have not decided if she will be an exchange student yet, so French or Americanized names are welcome! I have not picked last names yet, so they do not have to fit with anything.

Some names that I really like but do not work

Clémentine (is it too American?)

Celeste (It sounds a bit soft compared to the other names)

Violet / Juliet (I like the ending but it doesn’t look quite right)

Marion / Marian / Marien (I cannot find a spelling that looks French enough)

Mathilde (It is perfectly vintage but a little too stiff)

P.S. I pronounce Léna as Lane-uh.

Thank you so much for your help!

[name_f]Jeanine[/name_f] (pronounced like [name_f]Jeanine[/name_f] but with the [name_u]French[/name_u] zh sound for the beginning j!! (also my middle name so I’m totally biased :joy: but I think it’s gorgeous))

Elodie!! (another one of my all time favorites so I’m biased again, but this name has always taken my breath away! I think it fits with the set because of the strong vowel sounds and just flows well!)
