652.3French boy's namesCARTUN::DELLATue Mar 19 1991 17:2912
    
    
    I looked at the other notes regarding French names.
    
    They were just about all girl's names.
    
    As much as I would like to have girl seeing as how I have
    a son already.  You can always get what you wish for.  
    
    Any suggestions for boys names (French)

652.4Luke?TIPTOE::STOLICNYTue Mar 19 1991 18:0211
    
    There were a couple in .1  (Phillipe, Andre).   There's also
    Jean (John) and all it's combinations ... Jean-Paul, Jean-Luc,
    etc.   Luc (i.e. Luke) is nice.   How about Pierre or Marcel?  
    or Guy (or was that your son's name) ? 
    
    I can't think of any French names that I *really* like.  If you'd
    like to use one, how about for the middle name?
    
    Good luck,
    Carol  
652.5Christian?TIPTOE::STOLICNYTue Mar 19 1991 18:032
    
    an after-thought...how about Christian?
652.6CARTUN::DELLATue Mar 19 1991 19:4811
    
    I really like Christian. 
    
    I just dont really care for the nick name Chris.  
    I have had real hard time correcting every one with my
    first son.  His name is Andrew and I dont like Andy (I did 
    not think of nick name with him).
    
    Open for more any help is greatfully appreciated.
