Did you nurse her on Senlac when she was a baby?Hastings as a place in Sussex, England means in Old English, "Settlement of the family or followers of a man named Haesta", from Haesta + ingas.- Da.

Actually, Senlac was a somewhat feeble pun on Similac. Senlac Hill was the actual physical site of the Battle of Hastings... : )
