Embracing Inclusive Naming in Modern France

The landscape of gender-neutral naming in France represents a beautiful evolution in how families approach identity and self-expression. As society grows more inclusive and understanding of gender diversity, parents increasingly seek names that offer flexibility, allowing children to define their own identities as they grow.

This chapter celebrates names that transcend traditional gender boundaries—some with centuries of dual-gender use, others newly embraced as neutral options. These choices reflect a France that honors both its linguistic traditions and its commitment to liberté, égalité, and acceptance for all.
