So Mahault is a form of Mathilde
I like Mathilde. Matilda is rather popular in Sweden. Felix and Lucas (Lukas) are very popular in Sweden. Amelie is not popular but Emelie and Amelia are.

Penelope -I love this name!
Arthur -So...angloboring to me.
Calixte- Never heard this before, but it sounds lick cow-lick. You know, like in your hair?
Allegra -this is my grandmother's mn. I love it.
Flavie -it's like a cutesy way to say flavor.

Hermine -Her mine, Him yours.
Bettina -Sounds so old-fashioned and frilly.
Baudouin -Yick.
Delphine -this is pretty. It's a street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, I believe. That's where I first heard it and always liked it. No, maybe that's Dauhphine. I like them both.

Cyriaque
I don't know how common of a name this is, but I know it must be the French form of Kyriakos, which I adore.

The H is mute in French
So Heloise would be pronounced as Eloise. But I think Heloise looks more romantic (like in the tragic love story between Abelard and Heloise).
