So, how is Fortran-Haskell Sandra Müller doing? ;)

Haskell sounds to me a good name for a boy.
Actually, we are possibly expecting another (it's a bit too early to officially announce) and my wife has suggested Haskell if it was a boy! (as guard-of-terra says below, it is the name of a boy).

It is rather worryingly beginning to grow on me.

I guess I can always say he was named after the England Rugby player[1] to hide my true geek creds, and portray a more rugged image of myself.

Actually it IS a name for a boy. Haskell Brooks Curry he was.
Which part of the post made it not obvious that they named her Lua?
It's a subtle pun on the German practise of double-barrelled names that was popular a while ago. Especially amongst the more educated, when both partners wanted to keep their last name but also wanted a common name.
I think I missed this tip, Lua would be a cool name too.
Probably the part that did not include the translation of "moon" into Portuguese :P
