Is it called something special. Swear it is. (I know Ash Wednesday is way before) or am I thinking of that Monday that has a name. And its significance?

Sorry, every place I've looked says there's nothing special about the Wednesday. Holy week is Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, ending with Easter Sunday.

Maundy Weds/Thurs.
Maundy (pronounced MAWN-dee) Thursday is the English name given to the Thursday during Holy Week (also called Passion Week). Christians observe Maundy Thursday in commemoration of Christ's Last Supper. "Maundy" comes from the Latin word "mandatum", which means "commandment". This day commemorates the anniversary of the institution of Holy Communion, also called The Eucharist, by Jesus at the Last Supper. (Mandatum novum is Latin for "new commandment").
