France names them like the United States, though some departments have a coherent pattern to the numbering. They are all given "unofficial" names which are usually the name(s) of the largest cities in the constituency. In actual parlance, few people refer to a member as "depute de la 5eme circonscription de Moselle" but rather say "depute de Moselle" or, if they're mayor of a place in the constituency (as so many are) they just say "depute-maire de [insert city name]".
