Help[Facts] Re: Help with French Religous Names
in reply to a message by lala
Hi I'm French :]
Loads of French names are "religious" as you say, being a catholic country, but anyway Marguerite, Madeleine, Blandine, Bernadette, Lucie, Blanche, Thérèse, Anne, Sophie, Julie, Aline, Juliette or Françoise are famous saints.
NB : It's Geneviève, not Geneveive.
Hope it helped you :)
E-mail me if you want further informations.

Thank you!
Thank you.
I liked the names, and they did help.
However, I'm looking for a saint that actually HAD that name, instead of St. Margaret being called Marguerite. Do you understand what I am saying? Thank you so much though!!!

Aw ok.
But there isn't only one Margaret that was canonized, and there must be one "Sainte Marguerite" that was french, if not more than one.
If you want some real french, only french religious names, you can have Bernadette (the one from Lourdes), Foy (fwa), don't know...but almost every name has a translation, so there are many probabilities to have several saints having the same name all over the world.
Hope I undestood this time ^^
