As someone who speaks french as a first language, I have to tell you that amant is usually used to mean lover. It CAN mean mistress, but usually it's used much more innocently. You'd offend more people if you called yourself maitresse.

Brb. Going to get banned for making a character named Maitresse.

Well, maitresse can also mean teacher :p. Or chief.
