The Importance of French First Names! French Baby Names
We respond to our name throughout our lives. People associate us with our first name, it forms part of our identity. They help to distinguish us from one to another. Other people gain immediate and sometimes totally subconscious views of people, just from hearing a name they can therefore give us a distinct advantage in life, or conversely, a disadvantage! The choice of French Baby names is, therefore, incredibly important. And those of us who choose a baby's name are taking on a responsible task!

The origins of French Baby names include place names, those related to mythology and history, origins from colours, plants and other types of nature, French fictional origins, historical origins, characteristic and religious origins. We then move on to the genre which can be classed as Descriptive, French Places, Speciality and finally unique (or created name's).  

Hyphenated French baby names: French Baby Names
One of the most distinguishing features of the French baby name is the use of Hyphens. Examples of male hyphenated are Jean-Jaques or Paul-Henri. Examples of female hyphenated are Anne-Marie or Marie-Elise. The French also mix genders within hyphenated name's so that a French name will consist of one male name and one boy name. The correct gender is indicated by the first part of the name such as Jean-Marie for a boy and Anne-Louis for a girl.

Masculine and Feminine versions of French baby names
Many French names have masculine and feminine versions of the same name. The female name is often indicated by an acute accent over the letter 'e' which looks like this: é. An example of this is with the male name Jean changed to a feminine version of Jeaneé. Another illustration of masculine and feminine versions of the same name is the use of the suffix 'ette'. An example of this is with the male name Henri changed to a feminine version of Henriette.
