Ohhh difficult, I like so many of them. My mom is French so I love many French names.
I'd consider (first names):
Elsa - it's a family name. My mother's and grandmother's first name (they go by Elka and Elsie) and one of my middle names. So it would be honoring while she'd still have her own name.
Océane - this is lovely and I love the images it conjures up. The thing is, it's the French Madison. Quite trendy.
Louane - despite it being the French Caitlin (many many spellings)
Elise - honoring (see above)
Adele - so pretty
Mathilde - very pretty
and I like many many others: Mathilde, Julie, Marie, Clara etc etc I like almost all of them.
My choice: ELSA LOUANE
Actually prefer Océane over Louane but it doesn't really go with Elsa.
As for a boy...hmmm even more difficult but this time because I'm really really picky with boys names and hardly like any. I only have a really short list of boys names. As Leo is on it I'll go with Léo. Aurélien is fun and I like it so Léo Aurélien it is. Even though Aurélien is a bit dated in France.
ELSA LOUANE and LÉO AURÉLIEN
The names you chose are nice and go well together, I just don't really like most of them, sorry. Margaux is cute but Anna is boring and Clemence always sounded heavy to me. I like Louis (I have a teddy bear named Louis Orlando) but Jules seems dated and Valentin always sounded very girly to me. I love Valentine for a girl, though.

Thank you for your opinions! Jules does seem dated, I agree. I don't mind that though when it is in the middle name spot.
I love the names that you chose and the backgrounds given. :)
