“Mais non, imbécile ! Qui se soucie des goûts des gens comme vous, du peuple, de la pègre, de la médiocrité, du commun ? Seuls comptent les goûts des génies, comme Victor Hugo et moi. En plus, Adèle et Léopoldine sont des noms chrétiens.” — No, it isn’t, you imbecile! Who cares about the taste of people like you, the masses, the low lives, the mediocre, the commoners. Only the taste of geniuses like Victor Hugo and myself counts. Moreover, Adèle and Léopoldine are Christian names.

Inherited from Old French chrestien or Christian, from Latin Christiānus, ultimately from Ancient Greek Χριστός (Khristós). Doublet of crétin and Christian.
