How about Baton Rouge (from Bâton-Rouge in proper French, meaning "red stick"), New Orleans (La Nouvelle-Orléans, alluding to Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Orléans, once Regent of France), and Lafayette (named after the French aristocrat and general called Lafayette, who fought for the Americans in the Revolutionary War). Good luck, then!
