    Delphine and Ghislaine are my favorite French names BUT I've been told are very outdated in France, if that matters.

    A few I like are Odile, Clothilde, Ines, Rochelle and Agathe (ah-GAT).

    According to Nameberry, Frostine is becoming trendy in France. I admit I sort of like it. But are kids in the US still playing Candyland? LOL.

    I'm guessing here, but for Alea I'd go with ah-lee-oh (french accent). And I've heard Anais AN-eye-is. Mailys would probably be the same as Maelys.
    I love a lot of French names, but one of my favorites is Marie-Aimee (prn ay-may). Judging by people on facebook, it's still in use in France. Yvette is also one of my favorites, and better suited to an English speaking country.
