I love Esmé and Esmée (for a boy and a girl respectively), although because of the first usage by Esmé Stuart, I tend to think of it as a name with a strong Scottish connection even before I think of it as French. I also love Andrée, Amélie and Noël(le) for girls.

I like Amelie, Olympe, Angelique, Adrienne, Helene, Heloise, and Maximilien. I don't really know many French names, so... these represent a good protion of hte ones I even know! (And I'm not looking French names up because I'll get a list of like a thousand!)

This is using my Quebec French and presuming I still lived here, I wouldn't use half of them because they'd be pronounced in English and I'm not French at all. Some of these are also just names I hear on Francophone kids or are popular in Quebec.
Boys Maxime, Alexandre, Adrien, Alain (not one I'd use but I like it well enough), Anatole (not one I've heard before but it's alright), Antoine (I know one), Bastien (Sebastien), Benoit, Bertrand, Matthieu, Victor, Simon, Christophe, David, Dimitri, Eric, Frederic, Gregoire, Guillaume, Jeremie, Luc, Marc, Michel, Nicholas, Phillip (e), Pierre, Thierry, Yannick.Girls
Camille, Amelie, Emilie, Sophie, Elise, Marine, Aurore, Charlotte (me), Claire, Corinne, Eleonore, Eloise, Eve, Genevieve, Ghislane, Gisele, Gwenaelle,

Ha, ahh yes... Catrin in prns. if i'm not wrong... Honestly didn't occur to me. :P I never said they were all originally French. I also like Clara which is exceedingly French to me, but not occording to here, which is weird.
