These are some surnames in my family. Cormier, Douget, Blanchard, Matte. I like the 1st two Cormier pronounced corm ee yea and Douget pronouced doe gay. That was my grandparent's names. They were Cajuns. Such beautiful sounding names. My husband's last name is Sayer pronouced Say-yaah. Gotta love the French names. If you're at a loss you can look in a South Louisiana phone book and get many, many ideas. Good luck. You can email me at tutiemunson@yahoo.com and I can give you and endless amount of French names that you could use. By the way my 1st name is Monique another lovely French name.

My favorite name in all of my research was Marie Genevieve Dompierre-dite-St-Martin. She didn't live a long life, but she was descended from some of the most interesting characters in French-Canadian history.
There's Guillaume Couture, the famous hero of colonial New France who was captured by an Indian tribe, along with the "Martyrs of Canada". He spent more than 2 years living in the tribe and being put to the most extreme and unbearable torture. But he kept his integrity about him and finally the wife of the slain chief went to the tribal council to plead the case for Guillaume to be returned to "his people". When he returned to Quebecois society, they didn't even recognize him. But his character became the backbone of society in the colony and he ended up founding his own town.
There's Urbaine Tessier-Lavigne...an amazing character all his own.
Catherine de Baillon's genealogy to Charlemagne was proven a few years ago and she's tied into every royal family in Europe and many, many, many in North America.
Yves St-Laurent is the bearer of one of the classiest French names in the world, followed closely by Etienne Aigner and Coco Chanel.
