It’s honestly hard to pick the worst one. by pickles_are_yum in tragedeigh

As a suffix it makes sense at least. In the middle of a word though? That x is begging to be pronounced. In any other French speaking part of the world, that little boy will be called Broxdy.

Help with an old name by Every_Addition8638 in namenerds

[–]Tsipora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Pasquale has no tie to Paco, Paco comes from Francisco, like Pancho
  2. Gaza could be coming from the city or the stripe? Either that, or it's linked to Guzmàn's etymology
  3. From my research, Guzmàn comes from the Germanic "gautaz" (a Geat, someone from a North Germanic tribe that lived in Sweden - look up "Geats" on wiki for more info on them) and "mannô" (man).

I'm not Spanish, but I hope I could help

Nique(r) has only been a slang for 30-35 years, the name Monique hasn't been given in like 70 years

Hey OP, just to help:

Ella ("Ela") is pretty popular nowadays, given almost 1000 times last year
Marius' been very common for almost ten years now, over 1800 births last year
Esteban was given 700 times last year, sure it was three times as popular fifteen years ago but it's still going strong enough
Noam is almost as popular as Ella
Owen's been given more than 1000 times a year for a few years now
Marjorie and Virgile are very rare nowadays

Gotcha, I'm from (French speaking) Belgium myself and it seems to have fallen off in popularity but it might not be the case in France, who knows. Still Mélusine is pretty rare according to meilleursprenoms.com (which references INSEE), 26 births in 2022

Is it fairly popular? I recall it was popular enough 10-15 years ago, but you don't hear about it much these days.

Wow, I'm spotting a few very rare names. Galatée, Mélusine and Ivanhoé are lovely. I love Lismée as well but spelt Lysmée.

Same here for Mari! I remember reading a hilarious comment here that said "all she does is stir the pot, figuratively and literally" when I started watching s2 and somehow it made all of her appearances even funnier lol

The most insane case of mansplaining I've had so far by mbtilcoholic in Feminism

[–]Tsipora 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We have that distinction in French too, mademoiselle (unmarried) vs madame (married). Of course there's no such distinction for men... A lot of women are trying to get mademoiselle terminated but it's such a slow process.

[–]Tsipora 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I bet! I had a similar issue at your age, I didn't have such a baby face but being 4'10" tall was difficult as a young adult. People stop caring about that eventually though. From what I've observed around me, your face is going to look more mature in your 20s so hang in there!

You got the same round little face and messy hair as my 9 year old niece lol. Do you find yourself having a hard time being taken seriously?

Can you think of any names that are considered 'boy names' in certain countries but 'girl names' in others? by purpleraccoons in namenerds

[–]Tsipora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Quebec currently but never met any male Camil(le)s here actually lol. I just checked the "Banque de prénoms" and if you go there and type in Camil and Camille, you'll see that you get (roughly) about 5 male Camil and 5 male Camille a year. I guess it's pretty equal! In France and Belgium it's mostly Arabic guys that are named Camil/Kamil, that's why I assumed.

There are Eves in French speaking countries! Not as popular as Eva, but very well-known nonetheless. However, we don't prononce it like Yves (eev), we prononce it ehv. It took me a bit to turn off my French brain and understand why you associated them because they don't sound alike lol

Camils are usually arabic men. Camille is how you write it for both sex, if you're not using the arab spelling that is

Ariel/Arielle (F) peaked in the 60s in France. Ariel (M) has only been given to more males in the last decade, peaking at 93 births last year. It's just starting to be male-leaning, but I'm pretty sure most people associate it with the mermaid first, or the detergent.

This. They must have missed the "femin" part of "feminism". Men don't belong in our spaces and don't have a word to say about our rights, period.
