I love all the names! It's great that you're giving your kid names from both your cultures.
I think my favorite boy name is either Rousseau or Beau - probably Rousseau a little more though since he could use the nickname Russ, if he'd like later on. Still, Beau just has to be one of the cutest names ever - I know a guy named Booker we call Bo. Laurent and Emile are also really cool, but might open up to some teasing later on - a guy named Laurence at my school gets ripped on a lot (though it might not just be his name lol).
For girls, Isabeau is a gorgeous name, and much less common (at least in America) than the ever-popular Isabel. Plus, you could use the nickname Beau here on a girl, and that would be adorable. Aimee is nice too, but much less 'authentically' French seeming, since a lot of non-French people have adopted it as a popular name, along with Denise, Michelle, etc. Aurelie is one of my favorite names ever - so sweet and pretty sounding. I know one who's a bit of a tomboy, so we call her Riley lol. Noemi is a lovely name, and less common than Naomi, which, though great, is like Denise and Michelle (but much better lol). It's been on my favorite name list for a couple years, ever since I read it in The American. Oceane is really great sounding too (though I'm probably pronouncing it wrong lol), but it's probably better off as a middle name if you'd use it at all (but I know you guys are going for an Indian middle name). So my favorite names here are definitely Isabeau or Aurelie - either one is absolutely gorgeous.
Good luck and congrats!

No offence , but Unless you are French or of immediate French decent , I think that these names are just school yard beatings waiting to happen

They are all wonderful names! I love Rousseau, Émile and Aurélie. And if you like Émile there is also the girl's version Émilie.

So you want your child to have a life time of pronouncing his/her name for everyone?
If your original language does not use accents on letters, don't name your child a name that does.
Stop trying to be "different" and give your child a strong meaningful name that he/she won't spend their entire lives spelling for people.
In the end its not your name.

Apologize to your children for me and instead of saving for college save for therapy b/c kids are going to be very cruel to them they are going to need it
