Beautiful French Baby Names
That's my little French/Australian boy Charles Alexander Lambe as a baby. He's now three and we have a girl on the way - due in two months. We're thinking of naming her Elanore but that could change. So I thought I might throw up some classic French baby names.

To the snitty young ladies who wrote in with their incredibly out of place and rude comments, this wasn't meant to be an archive of Intellectually correct French translations. This guy obviously put a lot of work into this. I find it rather ironic that Becky and Aimee were obviously here to look for names for children because they didn't have the sensitivity, mental capacity, or originality to think of their own, and then they end up criticizing the person who was providing them with ideas.
Rather an apt statement about your own ignorance--no? I am already sorry for your children. You should just give up and name them Nancy or Bob. Thank you Malcolm.
Did you decide on one for your daughter? Elanore is beautiful!
