Name that baby: Ambrose Hilding

I sometimes have to remember that there are certain milestones that ought to be flashed on the blog that Brandy and I keep.

(Brandy is sleeping so we won't have the benefit of her edit. precious sleeeeeeeep...)

The big news last Tuesday night was that we named Choo Choo!

Ambrose Hilding Streit. Sometimes "Ambie" sometimes "Brosey". google it.
Hilding is taken from Brandy's grandpa Bill (old swedish).

Ambrose was a sudden name that had been lurking off the "short lists".

off the top of my head...

Very old Greek name, means "immortal". St. Ambrose of Scotland 4th century AD (can't remember what he did). There was a civil war General Ambrose Burnside...invented term "Sideburns". Ambrose (or rather Ambroise) Lepine was Louis Riel's body guard/enforcer. There's also a town outside of Winnipeg St. Ambrose..

the name is new to both of us so its been fun finding out where it's been used. apparently the name is more common out east.

must sleep now.
