I love French male names and Rémy is one of my favorites. Though I must say that the pronunciation given in the database frustrates me to no end. It says the É is pronounced like -ay which it is not. Rémy is not pronounced like Ray-mee and Étienne is not pronounced like ay-tyen. Anyway, Étienne is another favorite of mine.
I'm not sure what you are looking for, names that are used in France or names that are obviously French?
You could take a look at the most popular names in France: http://www.behindthename.com/top/ for some inspiration.

Here's my short list of favorite French names (male):
Isidore St.Pierre (fn, mn)
Étienne
Rémy
Guillaume
Guy
Loïc
Noé
Thibault
Amaury
François
Jules
Noël

Rémy is handsome. Do you want names that work in both English and French? And are you looking for names that are not popular in English speaking countries, or names that are not popular in French?
