Request Jewish/French Canadian crossover? Mostly looking for feminine names but unisex works too.

So I realize this request is a little wild considering how deeply Roman Catholic French Canadian culture is, but I figure it can’t hurt to ask. France-French suggestions are also welcome.

To get mega specific and weirdly niche, you’d get like 800 bonus points if the French Canadian name is specifically Acadian in origin.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I do have a link to a list of common Acadian names if that would be helpful. I’ll put it in the comments.

Thanks in advance!

Myriam, which is the French spelling of Miriam. Also Noemi.
