It wasn't easy. We have less than a month left til labor day before we dicovered the name.
Before my wifey got pregnant, we would always laugh and say we will name our future baby "Justin Jayden". Because after we watched Karate kid starring Jayden Smith, the "Never Say Never" track with Justin Bieber singing and Jayden rapping sounded cute to us. Well not for long.
When we saw his face in the ultra sound, we thought He looked more like a Zachary, Zachariah or Zack.
Then we considered alot of names like Trevor, Kendrick, Maurice, Dante, Tristan, Amarie, Joakim, Derrick
Our relatives and close friends recommended Allesso, Ricco, Rielly, Albi, or Ricardo III.
And names that sounds good with my Family name Flores like Enricque, Gael, Enrico and all the other Mexican sounding names.
Until we said "Alonzo Miguel". It was suppose to be final, then we changed it into "Alexander Joakim".Then a 3 letter name "Ari" but Ariana Grande was nick named Ari.
We even bought a book for baby names and looked over the internet, fight about a couple of times.
Until one afternoon, "KYRIE ALEXANDER" pops into our head. We knew then, this will be a perfect name for our baby.
How? 3 Simple steps:
-Write down all of the first names of the NBA players.
-Find and pick one that has a historical and biblical meaning.
-Then match it up with a well known great name that sounds the same with the mothers name. "Personalized"
His names are derived from two great warriors and leaders Kyrillous and Alexander. We believe the name combination indicates success, cleverness and sensitivity. Alexander is the name for an emperor.
Kyrie is a name of a Greek warrior known to be couragous, brave and independent leader.
His name is also biblical since the word "Kyrie" means "Lord, have mercy on us". Used by Catholics usually sang with a beautiful hymn accompaniment in solemn masses to ask forgiveness from God.
What comes into play also is the fact that his mothers name is Alexa, his Grand Pa is Alex and one of his uncles name is Axel. The AXE Factor.
I cant also deny that I am a big fan of Kyrie "Uncle Drew" Irving. For me he is one of greatest player to ever touch a basketball.
Currently if you search the #KyrieAlexander in IG. There are 3 beautiful babies that would appear. One black, one white and one perfectly mixed.
That boy has the sweetest personality ever. If you see him smiling you cant help but smile too.
It is undeniable that he has a a good ear for music. He will probably grow up as a great singer/performer Or a potential athlete because he is so active, strong and a great swimmer just like his Mother.
His dark brown wavy hair is absolutely beautiful, complements well with his round cheeks and expressive eyes.
His attractiveness, talent, and great personality makes him impossible not to love.
He is our baby Kyrie Alexander.
"he is so active, strong and a great swimmer just like his Mother."
