C name that's french
12

We didn't start out meaning to have a theme but it seems to have happened. Our first son was named Andre (after his dad) and it went with our french last name - Chenevert (green oak). For our second we decided on Brigitte (after watching the credits on a movie). So now we have two french names, first starts with A and second with B. Now we're thinking of a C name (don't know boy or girl yet) any suggestions?
Thanks!

I would use another French name, as you say, because a non-French name would quite stand out after Andre and Brigitte (nice names, by the way!); but having just an A and a B name, I don't think you're anywhere near being stuck in an ABC theme. Far from it! But assuming you *want* a C name, how about Cherisse, Cerise, Collette or Claudette for a girl, or Claude, Charles, Cyprien or Constantin for a boy? Best wishes!

Corinne
Camille
Charlotte
Cecile
Colette
Celestine
Claire
Clarise

Boys are much more difficult. The only names I could come up with are Clement and Christophe.

Is Christian or Christiaan French?
