When it came to naming her twin babies, Kailyn Lowry had plenty of help.
The Teen Mom 2 alum—who recently welcomed twins Verse and Valley—shared how she and boyfriend Elijah Scott settled on their infants' names. And luckily, it appears they had help in her older children.
"Verse came from Iverson, which is the name that Lincoln recommended," the 31-year-old shared in a Feb. 14 TikTok, about her son's homage to NBA legend Allen Iverson. "Obviously, it would be on his list because he's a huge basketball fan."
As for Valley, her baby girl's moniker comes from her hometown Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.
"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," she explained. "I feel like it's not super different. It's still a name you can grow with. It's not too weird."
But while Kailyn and Elijah—who are also parents to 15-month-old Rio—put a lot of thought into naming their twins, one thing that wasn't intentional? Picking "V" names for both kids, as she noted, "It just happened."
In addition to Rio and 10-year-old Lincoln—whom she shares with ex Javi Marroquin, Verse and Valley, Kailyn's six and seventh kids, join brothers Isaac, 14, whom she shares with ex Jo Rivera, and her and ex Chris Lopez's boys Lux, 6, and Creed, 3.
Since sharing her little ones' arrival last month, Kailyn has given insight into life as a mom of seven—including the difficult weeks her babies spent in the NICU.
"They weren't just there for a couple of days," she explained during a January episode of her Barely Famous podcast. "We were there for a couple of weeks, and we learned so much about the families that are there, and some of them are there for months and months."
And the experience took its toll on her.
"I cried a lot," Kailyn remembered. "I probably cried more with the NICU journey than the C-section stuff."
And after overcoming initial hurdles, the reality star expressed joy for the chapter ahead.
"I feel grateful, thankful, fulfilled, happy, complete," she shared. "We're putting an addition on our house because of this. I feel so blessed. They are good babies."

In Jan. 2010, Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry gave birth to her first child, Isaac, with her then boyfriend Jo Rivera. Two years later, after Kailyn and Jo called it quits, she tied the knot with Javi Marroquin and the couple welcomed son Lincoln the following year. By July 2017, Kailyn and Javi had finalized their divorce and she was getting ready to welcome a third son, Lux, with Chris Lopez.
After's Lux's arrival in Aug. 2017, Kailyn and her trio enjoyed some fall festivities.
The kids went all out for Halloween 2017.
"This is what our Saturdays look like," she captioned the 2017 pic.

Isaac gave his mom a sweet smooch on the cheek in this 2018 snap.
"First day back for all the kids," Kailyn wrote alongside a family photo in 2019. "4th, kindergarten & preschool!"
"We made it through the chaos of @theluxrussell's first art show & @thelincmarshall's last!" she shared in 2019. "So many cute projects & a sign that we've hit yet another milestone. Next stop for Lincoln, KINDERGARTEN! One day, all the kids will focus & smile for a photo."
In July 2020, Kailyn gave birth to baby Creed, her second son with Chris. Three years later, in July 2023, the reality star confirmed she'd privately welcomed a fifth child, a son named Rio, with boyfriend Elijah Scott. By early January, Kailyn announced that she gave birth to her and Elijah's twins, a boy and a girl.
Kailyn appears with sons Isaac, Lincoln and Lux at the 2023 Webby Awards.
Kailyn's five eldest sons Isaac, Lincoln, Lux, Creed, and Rio appear together in November 2023.
Kailyn holds her and Elijah Scott's twins, son Verse and daughter Valley, as seen in a photo she shared in January 2024.
