Umm, I think that's incorrect, Quentin.  I just ploughed through name
precedents and the RfS and didn't find proof, but I'm remembering distinctly
seeing proof that conflict by translation doesn't exist in non-personal
names.  The RfS have 'sound' and 'appearance' as their primary criteria, not
meaning.  I'll do some further digging but I suspect your wholly French name
is just fine.  I'll get back to you on this.

(And I know people in Trimaris - permission to conflict is an option if
necessary.)
