Help[Opinions] Re: Marieve: your opinions on these French girl names
in reply to a message by thetxbelle
Marieve* - I give this one a 8 or 9, meaning I love it. I think it can be used in US and won't stand out as some weird Euro name. I think it's a very beautiful French name. This is the first time I've seen it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Bérengère* - I'm not sure on how to pronounce this one. If someone could be further help with pronouncing it, I would appreciate it. I rate this a 4 because of the problem with pronouning it. What I could pronounce I didn't like and I don't care much for the look of it.
Ombeline* - I give this a rating of 6. It's okay. I don't entirely like the sound of it. The look of it is a bit funny to me. I think it works better as a middle name.
Aubeline - I give this a 7 1/2. This one is much better then Ombeline.
Nadège - I rate this a 7. It's okay. I like it fine. It's not easy to pronounce it by just looking at it for English speaking people.
Mazarine* - I give this a rating of 8. I like this one a lot. It's one of the prettiest -ine ending names that i've ever seen. It has a nice flowing sound that I think would work in France and US.
Josiane* - This one's a 7. I don't think this name would work in the US. No one would pronounce it.
*Argider - I rate this a 1. I don't care for it at all. I find nothing appealing about it.
I was wondering why French names?

I grew up here but have a lot of family and friends in France, we spend a lot of time there and eventually I would like to move :)
For the record I would most likely use one of these names as a mn, unless something is easily understood and flows well in English and French, I would not have it be their first name.
I found this on forvo so you can hear the pronunciation of Berengere.

Thanks for the site. I heard it and still can't pronounce it. I suck.

I cant pronounce certain words to save my life, "caerulean" like the color drives me crazy...most of these are just pretty but not very usable names for most anyone :/

I think a lot of these names are very pretty and some of them would be very hard to pull off as a actual person. That doesn't mean we can't have fun with them! :) I enjoyed these names. They're all new to me so it was exciting to see them! I didn't know there were any new names for me to find.

I promise some of these will be new :)
Here is an awesome site http://legitbabenames.wordpress.com/ I have found so many new names on here and lots of info I didnt know about names I was already familiar with.
If you like French names you would probably like aufeminin.com or http://www.prenoms.com but you would need a translator if you dont know French.
