Kailyn Lowry almost named son Aire, but it was 'too Kardashian'

Teenage mother 2 alum Kailyn Lowry found no inspiration for baby names in the Kardashian-Jenner family.

“If you think Verse and Valley are too Kim Kardashian for you, then you'll be happy to know I didn't name my son Aire,” Lowry, 32, said on Friday, February 16. TikTok video, referring to her newborn twins. “I say that because Aire is actually a family name for me. I have two grandfathers with the middle name Aire, and I almost named my son Aire.”

Lowry announced in January that she had given birth to twins, her second and third children with boyfriend Elijah Scott. She also shares son Isaac, 14, with Jo Riverason Lincoln, 10, with Javi Marroquinsons Lux, 6, and Creed, 2, with Chris Lopez and son Rio, 14 months, with Scott.

The twins, Verse and Valley, were born five weeks premature and spent several weeks in a hospital NICU department. They have now been fired.

When it came to choosing their names, Lowry's son Lincoln wanted to name his brother after the NBA star Allan Iverson. Valley, meanwhile, is inspired by Lowry's childhood growing up in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley.

“The Lehigh Valley has really shaped a lot of who I am and it's a big part of why I am where I am today, and so I really liked Valley,” she said in a TikTok video earlier this month. “I feel like it's not super different. It's still a name you can grow with. It's not that strange.”

On Friday, Lowry explained that she specifically chose not to honor her grandfathers before Verse's name because of the Kardashian-Jenner association.

“The reason I didn't name my son Aire was because of this comment [about Kim] and I still get it, so I think that's great,” the MTV personality explained.

The Kardashians have chosen equally unique names for their children. Kim, 43, has children named North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm Khloe Kardashian is mother of True and Tatum and Rob Kardashian's daughter is called Dream. Their sister Kylie Jenner was the one who chose Aire for the name of her son, 2, with ex Travis Scott after initially calling him Wolf. They also share daughter Stormi, 6.

However, Lowry is pleased with the names she has come up with for her youngest children.

“I feel like I have a good reason to name my kids Verse and Valley,” she added Friday as she hugged Verse. “The stories are cute [and] I also think that even if I didn't have a story for a child's name and I wanted to name my kids something, that's fine.”
