Lilja Piercen Lowell, 8 lbs, 4 oz, healthy as can be.

The Budd Lynch passing urged me to announce her arrival into our collective Detroit Red Wing family.  As one moves from the Red Wings present to Red Wings past, another moves from the future to the present and thus the traditions are carried forward.

Her 22 month old sister already loves the Wings and loves playing ball hockey and rod hockey, I'm sure Lilja will too (Especially when she sees pictures of the inspiration for her name wearing the Winged Wheel).

Cheers.

Congratulations man. What was the basis behind choosing Lilja for her name? Just curious.

rrasco, I'm assuming he picked Lilja for her name because his older daughter is already named Lebda.

I kid...

Congrats man! Being a parent is hard work, glad somebody's willing to do it!

Ouch, that hurts! Lilja made some mistakes but I always liked the guy. Not in the same league as Lebda, at all.

Mostly, it just dawned on me one day a few years ago while watching a game what a great first name it would make for a girl. And it's nice to tie it to Detroit Red Wing hockey in a little less obvious way (than naming her Stevie Y, or something )

The middle name is taken from a girl friend of ours who has proven over the years to be an invaluable friend to each of us, and our 22 month old and her absolutely adore each other.


Thanks very much, everyone. Go Wings!

Congratulations! I've never thought of it as a girl's name, but now that I see it in that context, it's brilliant.

And just wait until she gets that playoff beard on!
(Kidding, of course)

Enjoy your girls. They don't stay young for long, but they're yours for life.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself! It does make a pretty name, and will certainly be unique!

No worries, i was jesting along with you.

The first being Olivia, the uncles are already referring to them as Liv's and Lil's.

Congrats! I actually love the name for a girl. It's always exciting when a new addition comes to the family.

[WizardOfOz30]

Congratulations! I think that's a great name, bet he'd be honored to know you named her after him.

Don't use Filppula. No one can spell it.
