How to choose the right girl's name?
Choosing a unique name for your daughter
Do you want a name that stands out a little from the ordinary? No need to panic, there are plenty of ideas to explore! Sometimes an old or uncommon name has incredible charm, and sometimes a small variation on a classic name is enough to make it original. And if you're still looking for a little inspiration, our name catalogue is here to give you some great ideas.
A name that goes well with the last name
A good habit: say the first name and last name together out loud. Does it sound right? Is it easy to pronounce? This little check can help you see if the combination works naturally.
Ask friends and family for help
When looking for a name, family and friends often have plenty of ideas! Talking with your loved ones can give you new leads you hadn't thought of. And sometimes, that's how you discover a real favourite.
Draw inspiration from the great classics
Classic names remain a safe bet. They are easy to carry, known by all, and stand the test of time without going out of fashion. If you're hesitating, dipping into these timeless names can be a great source of inspiration.
Your little ones' quotes
"Mum, did you put your seeds in your eyes? (contact lenses)"
– Jade, age 3
"Can you give me a tissue if I sneeze? (à-tes-souhaits = bless you)"
– Oscar, age 3
"Mum, I put seagulls everywhere with my bread."
– Gaspard, age 3
