Yours was Myriam. And mine was Noémie. Maman told me once that she originally wanted Noémie to be my first name, but Papa suggested that it would be better as my middle name. “But Noémie is so pretty as a first name too,” she said to me. And it is. Then she said, “But ‘Claire’ was a good choice. It means ‘light.’ And I think that’s really lovely too.”
Love
