I’m happy to report the birth of our second son, Vidvuds Ingus, on Nov. 19th at 01:47 Central Time, U.S.  (If we lived on the west coast, he would share a birthday w/Latvia. . . )For those interested in stats: 9.1 lbs (4.128 kg), 20.75 long (52.7 cm).  We are all doing well. . .

Vanda (Zinshamamma UN Vidvudamamma ;-)

All the best to you and your new son.
Curious about the middle name of Ingus. Sounds Estonian. Reminds me of a famous violinist of the trimda years. Any relation?

Senior moment!  On second thought I think Ingus Naruns was a cellist.

I had planned on answering this some time ago, and now a month has gone by. . . How did that happen?  I know it is a cliche, but children really DO grow so fast - this month has sped by.

As to the name of Ingus - no, I had not heard of Ingus Naruns, the cellist.  But my mother and many others have mentioned him since hearing the middle name of our son.  I AM familiar with music by Ingus Bauskenieks, Ingus Ulmanis & Ingus Petersons - although none of them (consciously) influenced our name choice.  I remember reading that Ingus is a Latvian version of Heinrichs. 

Anyway, thanks to all the well-wishers.  Vidvuds Ingus is wonderful!

Your son’s middle name certainly has plenty of musical company. I am fascinated by the less common names and since you mentioned Ingus as the Latvian version of Heinrichs, I remember an old Latvian history book my dad had “Indrika Vesture” and found that Indrikis is the Latvian name for Henry. I see a similarity between Indrikis and Ingus, both probably derived from Sankskrit along with the female Indra. Anyway, they are neat names you gave your son.
