(and those are some of the cutest babies ever!) We have a french last name so maybe we should go with that theme for LO #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308801 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 10:46:41 +0000 californiadreams 2308801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: i opened this thread before i saw you tagged me :)</p> <p>I like some of the girl names more. the boy ones i would want to be a little more common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308791 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 10:40:41 +0000 Truth Bombs 2308791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked most of the girl names, and did not care for the boy names at all. Which is a bummer since we have a currently unnamed baby boy on the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308782 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 10:36:24 +0000 yin 2308782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beautiful names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308653 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 09:22:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2308653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE some of these! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308647 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 09:16:14 +0000 petitenoisette 2308647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh these are so adorable! I'm a French teacher so I have a total soft spot for French names (though for my daughter we gave her a name starting with an H, so not so French-friendly!)<br /> Funny I was literally just thinking about the name Louise/Louisa this am on my drive to work and how it would be so cute to call a little girl Lou. Love Lilou too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308645 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 09:15:53 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2308645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are some cute ones on there for sure!</p> <p>A variant of my daughters name and also our choice for lo2 if he had been a girl (although listed as a boy name, Remi/Remy) are on there too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308643 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 09:15:19 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2308643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE all the girl names!! so pretty and cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308638 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 09:12:51 +0000 rattles 2308638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are some nice choices here!

In any case, I had never heard of that name until this article. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308591 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 08:45:36 +0000 erinbaderin 2308591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Oh, the diacritic mark! I didn't even think about that! Good call.

(for reference, I speak French) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308570 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 08:27:52 +0000 lamariniere 2308570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @travelgirl1: I think it is probably pronounced Kai-EES. I think the S would be pronounced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-names-that-are-bound-to-get-popular-in-the-us#post-2308567 Fri, 02 Oct 2015 08:22:19 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2308567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a Melina in my LO's preschool class.
