Here are a few:

Girls-

1.) Chanté (pronounced Shan-teh) which means "to sing" in Kreyol.

2.) Ayida who is the spirit of love.

3.) Brigitte (brih-ZHEET) despite being the keeper of death, the name is quite popular and doesn't hold up to its orginal meaning.

4.) Fabiola...I don't know the meaning and I really doubt that the name is Haitian in orgin but my dad insists that I put it down.

5.) Ghislaine...I have no idea.

6.) Bijou (Bee-jou) which means jewel.

7.) Lourdes....I have no idea.

8.) Kiskeya (Kis-KEY-ah) which means "mother of all lands". This name goes back to the orginal inhabitants and ancestors of Haiti(ans), the Taino Indians.

9.) Anacaona who was a Taino Queen. The name means golden flower.

Boys-

1.) Agwe (AGH-way) he is the spirit guide of the sea and belongs to the Haitian trinity.

2.) Azacca (ah-ZAH-kah) he is spirit guide of argiculture.

3.) Zac can also be used from Azacca.

4.) Hennrick which is basically the Haitian form of Henri (French) and Henry (American).


That's all I could think of for now...
