DD's ballet class names

Here's a list of the girls in DD's Parisian ballet class (they had their holiday open class today, hence my just posting this now).

Manon
Camille
Amalia
Eva
Victoria
Joanna
Alexia
Elena
Anna

This is normally my naming style, but I am a little disappointed at the Spanish/Italian -a names that have taken France by storm these days. There are only two traditionally French names on this list (the first two). That trend is reflected at DD's school and in other extra-curriculars. DD had a Eugenie in her ballet class last year and I wish she would come back to balance out the names a bit!

Not bad. Alexia is the name of a reading disorder, though.

Manon always reminds me of French class, and watching Manon des Sources!

Beautiful names!

I love Manon. Wasn't that name one of the characters in Chocolat the movie?  Love that movie!

I swoon over Manon! The rest are pretty too. I want to take a Parisian ballet class too!

Me too!  I feel like I haven't seen you around in awhile either!  Interesting that Spanish/Italian names are getting so popular there.  Can anyone think of a particular reason for this trend?

I love Elena, but it's too popular for me to use it.
