Victoire
Her name meant victory in French; it was as simple as that. It combined the life work of her father's family with the French heritage of her mother's. But over time, she came to realize that her name wasn't just about the war that her relatives had fought in- it was about overcoming daily struggles, which was what Victoire did best, and eventually she decided that her name was going to symbolize her own personal victories, and not just those of her parents.
Bill rested his hand lovingly on Fleur's tummy.
"Victory," he said softly. "She is our Victory."
"Victoire," corrected Fleur, smiling. "She needs some French in her."
"Victoire, then," said Bill, stroking the unborn baby gently. "For everything that we lived for."
