Marion
“Marion is a French unisex given name, a medieval French diminutive of Marie (Mary), derived from the Hebrew Miriam of uncertain meaning — possibly "wished-for child," "beloved," or "rebellious." As a masculine name it is found in French-speaking countries and in the American South; as a feminine name it is used across English, French, and other European cultures.”
Dylan
“Dylan is a Welsh masculine name from the Mabinogion — composed of dy meaning "great" and llanw meaning "sea, tide" — thus "great sea" or "son of the sea wave". In Welsh mythology Dylan eil Ton was a sea god. The name entered French and Spanish use through the cultural influence of the singer-songwriter Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman), who took the name from the poet Dylan Thomas. It is now used in France and Spain as a fashionable given name.”
Jean
“Jean is the French masculine form of John, derived from the Latin Iohannes, from the Greek Ioannes, itself from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". It has been one of the most common male names in France for centuries, borne by countless saints, kings, philosophers, and literary figures. In French literature, Jean Valjean is its most famous fictional bearer.”
Sophie
“Sophie is the French form of Sophia, from the Greek sophia meaning "wisdom". In France and across the German-speaking world, Sophie became one of the most beloved feminine names, carried by queens, philosophers' wives, and fictional heroines. Tolstoy's War and Peace and countless French novels feature Sophies as emblems of refined, good-natured intelligence.”
Laurence
“Laurence is a French given name used for both men and women, from the Latin Laurentius meaning "man from Laurentum" — the city name possibly from laurus meaning "laurel", the symbol of victory and honor. Saint Laurence (Saint Laurent), the 3rd-century Roman deacon martyred by being roasted on a gridiron, is one of the most venerated saints in France. The feminine use of Laurence in French is distinct from the masculine Laurent.”
Jules
“Jules is a French and English masculine (and increasingly unisex) given name, a form of Julius, derived from the Roman family name Iulius, of uncertain origin — possibly from the Greek Ioulos meaning "downy-bearded" or connected to the god Iulus. The name is associated with Julius Caesar and with the French author Jules Verne, making it both imperial and adventurous in its cultural resonance.”
