Yes. French is spoken in 49 countries, including Moslem ones. So, among the French speaking world, Abdul (for example) is as traditional and commonplace as Jean Pierre. So I would say that the overwhelming majority of French names remain traditional.
What the French tend not to give their children the ridiculous hybrid and non-existent names now being invented in US and, to a lesser extent, in UK. Nor do they use surnames as first names. So there aren't many children called Flowerpot, Henna-Banjo or Renault LeBlanc III.
Breton names like Loic and Yannick seem popular. Though not from the French language, they are traditional in France. |

The law that forbid the use of names not in the French list of saints was repealed a long long time ago, you find now French born people with foreign names - other than the ones coming from their own culture I mean. For a time Kevin was very popular for example.
There is still a law that forbid to give children names tending on the ridiculous or which would make the child the laughingstock of his class. |
