Victoire is clearly intended to be Bill and Fleur's. Aside from the 
fact that she has a French name, which Fleur would give her daughter, 
she's too old to belong to Ron and Hermione. She's kissing 19-year-old 
Teddy Lupin in the epilogue but is young enough to be going to 
Hogwarts. That would put her age at about 17, about to turn 18. I 
don't think the name is after Victor Krum at all. Victoire 
means "victory" and she was probably named in honor of the victory 
over Voldemort. I wouldn't be surprised if she was conceived the night 
that they won -- Bill and Fleur making love and conceiving their child 
as a way to assert the power of life over death.
