- Mignon
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"delicate, dainty"Description:
Charming French endearment, first used as a name by Goethe, that now makes an appealing choice -- though the proper feminine form is Mignonne. Note, though, that this is not actually used as a name in France, where Manon would be the closest choice.
