Here is a list of French names that start with G. The page includes French names for boys and girls from different eras, as well as last names.
The list is divided into several sections. The modern names are baby names and other names popular in the 2000s, while the traditional names are those common among people born in the 1900s.
The names come from data provided by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, with a few additions from Wikipedia, Reddit and other sources. All of the names also appear in my Random French Name Generator.

Today’s French naming fashions favor softer and lighter sounds, often beginning with vowels (Emma, Inès, Océane) or “light” consonants such as L, M, and S. Stronger, less melodic initial consonants like G or P are less common at the moment. This trend can be seen across many European languages.
