The littlest Lane finally has a name! Fergus Erroll Lane was named at 4:00am on Monday morning. Thanks once again for all the name suggestions. In the end Ferg's Mum and Dad didn't go with a Fast Lane name. I took the liberty of investigating the origins and meaning of 'Fergus' and this is what I found:
Fergus (Origin Scottish, Gaelic and Celtic) A fierce or brave chieftain, from Fear, man, and guth, a voice or word, that is, the man of the word, a commander of an army. Some suppose the first Fergus was so named from Fairghe, the sea, on account of his large navy; others, from his raging like the sea in battle. Feargach, fiery. Source: An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names With an Essay on their Derivation and Import; Arthur, William, M.A.; New York, NY: Sheldon, Blake, Bleeker & CO., 1857.
Sounds like there'll be no pushing this little brother around!
