                • Description:

                  Léandre is a masculine name of Greek origin, derived from the mythological figure Leander who swam across the Hellespont nightly to visit his beloved Hero. The name combines the Greek elements 'leon' meaning 'lion' and 'andros' meaning 'man,' suggesting strength and courage. Particularly popular in French-speaking regions and Quebec, Léandre carries a sophisticated European flair with its accent mark. The name has classical roots while maintaining a contemporary feel. Though not common in English-speaking countries, it has steady popularity in Francophone areas. Léandre offers a distinguished alternative to more common names while providing the friendly nickname Leo or Léo. Its mythological associations add depth and romantic significance.

                        "bitter"

                      • Description:

                        Manon is an endearing French pet name for Marie or Marianne; it has the international yet straightforward feel that makes it a viable import. Manon of the Spring was a gorgeous French film, Manon Lescaut a 1731 novel by Abbe Prevost, set in France and Louisiana, that was controversial in its day. It formed the basis of operas by Puccini and Massenet, and several films and TV series.

                      • Meaning:

                        "god of war; male; red planet"

                      • Description:

                        Mars is a name with interesting potential, ticking the boxes as a mythological name, a space name, and a single syllable choice ending in -s. For parents wanting something unexpected, Mars could work as an alternative to popular Brooks, Max, Atlas, or Miles - and given to around 150 boys - and 35 girls - in a recent year, it is unusual but recognisable.
                    • Maritana
                      • Mathurine

                              • Description:

                                Narcisse is a masculine name of French origin, derived from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a beautiful youth who fell in love with his own reflection. The name is connected to the narcissus flower, which in turn was named after the mythological figure. In French-speaking regions, particularly Quebec and parts of Europe, Narcisse has historical usage though it has never been extremely common. The name carries associations with beauty and self-admiration, though the negative connotations of narcissism have likely contributed to its limited popularity. Narcisse has an elegant, artistic quality with its soft sounds and classical references, appealing to those drawn to names with mythological depth and French linguistic heritage.

                                This Roman mythology (and planet) name would be very hard to handle. It derives from a root meaning cloud.
