France, and some other strong Catholic (and other?) countries, insist
that only official Saints' names are used to baptise (and register) a
baby. You can use combos like Jean-Marie which adds a little variety
(and many names are unisex or have variants for male and female e.g.
Dominic and Dominique) but you're stuck with a pretty limited choice.
