Straphangers pitch in as Brooklyn woman gives birth on F train platform

 

A baby girl named Soleil - French for sun - lit up a Manhattan subway station with joy Monday.

 

The little bit of heaven - 6 pounds, 7 ounces and 15 inches from head to toe - was born on the East Broadway F train platform with the help of more than a dozen concerned New Yorkers.

 

Home attendant Max Alfontent and his wife, Francine, both 27, left their Brooklyn home and hopped an F train about 3 p.m. after the mom-to-be started feeling her first child was thisclose to arriving.

I might name my baby after the station or line if my wife/girlfriend did give birth on a platform or train. What I might do is put the first letter of my child's name the letter line (if baby was born on BMT/IND) was born in.

Kinda funny I know a kid name Brian Michael Thompson and a girl named Ivonna Nina DeMarco (BMT and IND) Then there this one person who name is and no joke, Nathan Joshua Trenton (NJT)

I'm the only one with a straight yes so far. Gotta be a holy/biblical name since my parents used to live in a house on Church Avenue, right next to the train station.
