Baby names

[Zub]

"Emmanuelle" is quite common in France indeed :-) usually shortened to "manue"
"Anneliese" could also come from "Anne-Lise" which is not unheard of, (not common, but not very rare either)

My first daughter has two names as well, one english-oriented that we use commonly, and one french-oriented that we have as a second name for administrative purposes. Since we don't know if we'll say in australia for ever, and since we're of a french background, she'll be able to easily change if she ever wants to.

The english sounding (actually it's Nordic) is "Freyja" (or Freya as it is spelled these days) and her french name is "Lydie"
She will be 2 years old on October 7th, so it's very possible that my two kids will have the same bday, or be just a few days apart.

Seems January is a good month.. >.>
