No, there is no specific designation for the members of the first crew of a French Navy ship.

I'm not sure that duty on a newly commissioned ship is a lot different than one that has been in service for some time so it seemed a little over the top for there to be a first-crew honorific but my brother seemed to think that it was worth mentioning a couple times. Maybe because it was a new class of ship. Perhaps it was something that the Navy raises to importance for the sake of moral.
