Kailyn Lowryis opening up about how she picked her twins' names.
When asked how to pronounce each of their names on TikTok, the mom of seven, 31, opened up about how she came to each decision. Son Verse’s name stemmed from a suggestion from Lowry’s 10-year-old sonLincoln, whom she shares with exJavi Marroquin.
“Verse came from Iverson, which is the name that Lincoln recommended. Obviously, it would be on his list because he’s a huge basketball fan,” she explained.
“For Valley, I moved when I was a kid to the Lehigh Valley — and I know everyone who lives in the Lehigh Valley is going to be like ‘Oh no, this is not where she’s going.’ It is.”
Lowry continued, “The Lehigh Valley really shaped a big part of who I am and it’s a huge part of why I am where I am today, and so I really liked Valley. I feel like it’s not super different. It’s still a name you can grow with. It’s not too weird. But now we haveIsaac, Lincoln,Lux,Creed,Rio,Verse and Valley.”

While picking V names was “not intentional,” she did laugh at the fact that oldest Isaac has only two sisters — referring toJoandVee Rivera’s daughter, Velisse — and both have names that start with V.
As far as nicknames go, Lowry said there are “no nicknames that I like for Valley.”
In a previous episode of her podcastBarely Famous, Lowry touched on how difficult it was to manage the time in the NICU with the rest of her children at home. Lowry and boyfriend Elijah Scott share the twins and sonRio, 15 months. In addition to her three children with Scott and her two older boys, Lowry also shares Creed, 3½, and Lux, 6½, with exChris Lopez.
“For me, it was you couldn’t be there with me in the NICU when I went,” she told Scott, referring to the factthat they’d take turns, with one visiting the hospital while the other handled the other six children.
“She was away from her twin; we were away from her. When we were home, we still couldn’t process it because there was so much going on here. Lincoln still had his basketball games and practices.Isaacstill had his after-school stuff. Lux still had what he was doing,” she continued.
