A very popular first name that you all know can be written in more than 50 ways. Find out which one.
Nowadays, it is true that first names are becoming more and more original. It is possible that first names do not even exist, and come from the fruit of the parents’ imagination, with boundless creativity. Some are also very poorly pronounced, due to the fact that they are not widespread. Some even have fun putting together their own first names to form the first name of their offspring. Apart from ‘invented’ first names, there is also another trend.
It’s about old first names, which come back more and more. Some stars were the first to use them. Such as Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet with their little Marcel, Nolwenn Leroy and her little Marin or even Jean Dujardin and Nathalie Péchalat with their two little girls. In short, there aren’t really any limits when it comes to first names. For twins, some also have to be cunning. One couple even named their twins by their father’s first name. Everything, or almost everything, is therefore possible.
