I studied in France last quarter (Fall 06) and taught English at an elementary school. Some of the kids names were: Léonard, Maïlis, Agathe, Augustine, Sophie, Honorine, Emmanuèle, Marine, Gautier, Ludovic, Eliot, Hugo, and Killian. I liked that there were no repeated names in the class (like there are in the states: 5 Sarahs, 3 Katies, and 4 Chris').

Augustine and Honorine look like some pretty cool French names. 8)

I did not even know that Gautier can be used as a first name.

Thanks for sharing!

And welcome on the boards!
