Since the fn ends with a vowel, I think it sounds better if the mn starts with a consonant.

Thanks for the suggestions! There are so many beautiful French names, it's hard to narrow it down. Good point about the flow of the name with Janae ending with a vowel - it is exactly the problem we are running into...finding a MN that 'flows'...

I can't wait to share your suggestions with my DH - it seems like every name that I come up with he knew someone with that name growing up and has a negative reaction to it. I love to hear him say the names the 'French' way...some that don't sound so nice in English are absolutely gorgeous in French. Angeline is an example - I actually find it a bit harsh in English, but when he says it, it is beautiful. That's why it's still on the list!

Thanks again.

I tried to think of names that would sound good the French way because I figured that's how he would say them.

I like every one of your mn options better than Janae...sorry, but Janae just isn't my style at all. I love the name Claire Elise.
