    Every since I can remember I’ve been obsessed with anything and everything to do with France and French things. It’s a country that has so much to give. The best French baby names, Champagne, French perfume, baguettes, cheese, French girl hair,  the best pharmacy skin care ever, uber-cool French women … the list goes on. Basically, the French do everything better!

    RELATED: The most unique celeb baby names

    So it’s not surprising they have the best French baby names ever! Think classic yet chic!

    I totally understand how much pressure there is when naming your child. It took me the whole nine months to come up with my baby’s name. While I love her name, I’ve still got a long list of baby names that I want to use up!

    To get you inspired, here’s a list of our fave French baby names ...

    I love Adeline, Chloe and Mila! I like Louis for boys
    MelissaFay89 23 Oct 2018 5:55 AM
    I love most of these names
    Nys Silver 16 Oct 2018 9:32 AM
    Jules was on my list of names for my son. I love it. But when he was born I saw him changed my mind haha. The girl's names are gorgeous
    Lucy16 5 Sep 2018 1:27 AM
    I think there is a typo in the boy's names; Jaques should be spelt Jacques.

    My little ones attend a French bilingual school and the names of kids are very interesting.

    There are a lot of girls with name the Elodie which is one of my favourite French names after Anaïs (I love Anaïs Nin).

    Other girls' names I love are: Aurelie, Anique, Manon, Mariane and Mathilde.

    For boys, I love the names: Etienne, Jules, Fabien and Romain, Gervais, Louis, Alexandre and Gabriel.
    Tee631 19 Jul 2018 5:06 PM
    Cute names
    jillian206 15 Jul 2018 3:11 PM
    I know 6 people with the names listed.
    NellAdams 11 Jul 2018 2:55 PM
    I wouldn't say all these names are exclusively French! Some are more "Romantic" (from the Romantic languages - French, Spanish, Italian etc) than explicitly French. I also don't quite understand the fascination with things being French, but I'm a broken record at this stage! Still really lovely names.
    Beautybabe140194 5 Jul 2018 10:55 PM
    Pretty names. I especially love the name Chloe.
    Tigerlily 5 Jul 2018 10:34 PM
    Puppy names haha
    Popsicle 5 Jul 2018 10:10 PM
    Love these names with the meaning too. Great article bh!

    Most of these sound lovely.
    Sootyhere 5 Jul 2018 8:45 AM

    Miss19 5 Jul 2018 5:08 AM
    I always liked Raphael for a boys name
    AndreaJW 4 Jul 2018 9:20 PM
    I really like the names Alexis, Chloe, and Clementine.
    vtjh 4 Jul 2018 8:34 PM
    So pretty! Never knew that Jolie was a french name
    Luna19 4 Jul 2018 7:11 PM

    You beauty 4 Jul 2018 5:11 PM
    All these names are so poetic.
    skincare junkie 4 Jul 2018 4:13 PM
    I recently come to know a Maelie I think it is beautiful
    Chicklet 4 Jul 2018 3:17 PM
    It’s not listed here, but I’ve always liked the name Madeline, partly because of the children’s book series and animated TV series of the same name.
    Yohanna 4 Jul 2018 2:52 PM
    So hard to pick a name, must be stressful to parents finding THE One, that child will stay with it forever!
    Ellyloves 4 Jul 2018 2:14 PM
    I love baby names
    Sparkle 77 4 Jul 2018 1:39 PM
    Most of them are lovely but I am only looking at pet names from here on as my baby days are over.
    Sootyhere 5 Jul 2018 8:44 AM
    haha that's where I'm at as well.
    MoonlightSak16 4 Jul 2018 1:02 PM

    Gilded 4 Jul 2018 12:12 PM

    Jessica712 4 Jul 2018 10:27 AM

    Girl789 25 Jun 2018 2:47 PM
    I love all things French too! So many cute names - I love Adeline, Chloe and Mila
    clearcrystalwater 25 Jun 2018 4:39 PM
    Oui!
    aoperez 17 Jun 2018 6:58 PM
    Interesting..it is true that many of these names are the modern popular names of many celebrities and the older French names that once were popular aren't there - the Charlotte, Denise, Fleur, brigitte, etc.

    In other European countries some of these names can also be unisex - like Alexis - which is a boy's name, and also the point that many French names are pyhenated - like Jean-Baptiste, etc...
    Kassalee 9 Jun 2018 5:35 PM
    Interesting article - didn't realise so many names we hear are French.

    I quite like many of the boys name - interesting to see Louis in there - and this article was written months before Kate Middleton named her new baby Louis.

    And the girls names are interesting....

    Jolie (meaning :Pretty) Angelina Jolie - Jolie is actually her middle name

    Solange (meaning :Dignified) Beyoncé's sister is named Solange

    You beauty 6 Jun 2018 9:33 PM
    I didn't know Chloe and Mila are French names, Raphael is lovely too.
    cosmoslyn 2 Jun 2018 10:38 PM
    so pretty names, if i ever have a baby (nah) i'll look to this list
    clearcrystalwater 28 May 2018 11:16 AM
    Emile for a boy is oh-so-cute!!!! Have to say I've always been a fan of the guy's name Emilio.
    Rainbownerds 2 Apr 2018 9:22 PM
    Such pretty names, love adeline and chloe
    MelissaFay89 5 Dec 2017 11:17 PM
    I love them all, so gorgeous
    clearcrystalwater 28 May 2018 11:17 AM
    Aren't they?! Something special about French names!
    ThisIsMe 5 Jul 2018 2:07 PM
    I like Mila the most.
    ray_jay 27 Nov 2017 10:15 PM
    What a random article.
    blackkittykat 27 Nov 2017 9:18 PM
    I like the name Adeline, it's lovely.
    Isabelbolton 27 Nov 2017 7:59 PM
    The girls names are very pretty some nice inspiration in this article.
    Bellefleur 27 Nov 2017 3:53 PM
    I knew Louis would be on this list! I am definitely not a fan of Felix....
    jewl 27 Nov 2017 2:21 PM
