First Impressions
AI-WrittenThe name reads as quietly self-possessed, associated with late-seventies nurseries and quiet competence. It avoids the cheerleading brightness of Courtney and the heavy volume of Nicole. People tend to picture someone with a well-maintained card catalog or a planner kept in pencil. It remains one of the few French imports that survived American school rosters without needing pronunciation coaching.
