French naming traditions
From 1803 to 1966 French law limited first names largely to saints' calendars and historical figures. Since 1993 parents can choose freely, but the registrar may refer a name to a judge if it seems against the child's interests. French children often receive several first names, and hyphenated pairs such as Jean-Pierre or Marie-Claire count as one name. Many families still celebrate the fête, the saint's day linked to the child's name.
