Baby name story: Sea Bee

On July 2, 1944 — just a few weeks after D-Day — a Frenchwoman in the Norman village of Sainte-­Marie-du-Mont went into labor.

U.S. Navy Seabee medical officers in Normandy received word that the woman was in need of emergency medical assistance, so they sent a doctor. (The Seabees are part of the U.S. Naval Construction Battalion; the word “Seabee” comes from the acronym “C.B.”)

The Seabee doctor arrived just moments after the birth of a baby girl. He immediately began to render postnatal care.

In the days that followed, the medical staff of the battalion paid many visits to the home of Henri and Marie Fouchard.

In honor of the Seabees, the Fouchards named their daughter Séa Beé Paule Fouchard.
