HelpRe: Léandre
in reply to a message by Acajou
Hmmm. Are you French? Does the person's comment surprise you because Léandre is in the top 500 in France, or somewhere else? I'm slightly confused...
But anyway, I am not French although I do speak the language a little. I don't think Léandre sounds ridiculous when said in French sentence, but pronouncing Léandre correctly in an English sentence is kind of weird to me. So changing Léandre to Leander when speaking English might sound better?
If the person was neither French or living in a French-speaking country, I'd probablyy go for Leander.

Her comment did surprise me. I noticed that she complains about a lot of the fancier French names. Probably the harshest comment was given to the name Auguste, which she says is "not given anymore" (yet I know a 4-year-old with the name).
I am French, BTW.
