for a friend

[blueorange94.livejournal.com]

My friend is pregnant with her 3rd child, a baby girl to join her big brother Markus. (Markus had a twin named Jackson, who sadly didn't survive birth.)

She's being very hush-hush about this pregnancy because she feels if she talks about it too much, she'll jinx it. While she agrees it's not rational, in light of what happened with her last pregnancy I can certainly understand her reluctance and, frankly, her fears. At the same time, she isn't really discussing names with anyone yet either, except me and probably her sister.

The only name she and her husband sort of agree on is Parker, no middle name picked yet but probably will be a family name. Anyone have any suggestions on good sounding sibsets? Last name starts with a B, and mom would appreciate a French name that's not too hard for her anglophone husband to say (e.g. Geneviève is right out).

My first thought is Evangeline, which I don't think is French at all. But Parker Angelique/Veronique also sound quite lovely, IMO. I hope your friend gives birth to a lovely, healthy little girl. :)
