- Many of you have been asking for the story behind our kids' names. We have 8 kids (and a puppy), and all their names are pretty unique! Each has a very distinct story...and here they are! This is a video I did for Instagram that I thought I'd share here as well.
⭐️Brandtsen Hutchings "Hutch" Page
⭐️Priya Jean Page (Grandma Jean loved aspens too! / aspenhilllodgeco )
⭐️Beck Avon Page
⭐️Daivy Kaye Page (ps I had her plug her bloody nose for 5 minutes which is why she asked me if her timer was up, ha!)
⭐️Mory June Page (inspired the moryjune.com name!)
⭐️McEwan Fisher Page
⭐️Joss Jordan Page
⭐️Devereux Clarke Page (forgot your mention that, come to find out, we have a long line of French Canadian ancestors and we have Devereux’s in our line! Crazy, right??)
⭐️Rome the Bernese (see the Italy photos at / romethebernese )
So there you have it!
Anyone else have any cool name experiences? And please tell me I’m not the only one that thinks naming a human is a lot of pressure 😅😬.

Iike if u would like to see an updated house and backyard tour💕
That will hopefully be coming soon. Still trying to figure out how to do this one.
Jordan Page, FunCheapOrFree np take ur time💗
@@jordanpagecompany Mabey you or Bubba are the cameraman/women and die Kids Show and explaine us everthing....
Greetings from Germany 😇
Thea h omg that’s a good idea!! Kids add a whole new perspective to things and it would be really neat to see what they include that mom & dad might not think much of!
@@theah9380 that would be amazing!!
Ahh .. we finally get a “real” video - so loud she can barely talk, find a kid attacking marshmallows when she tries to hide in the pantry to cry, totally forgetting she has two babies when she calls McEwan her youngest ... she IS a real person.
Definitely a real person. 😆
"I just cried in my pantry to you so if that doesn't bond us, I don't know what will." 😂😂
Awww I absolutely love hearing the story behind everyone’s kids names!!! 💕💗
Same
Very interesting names, and God Bless Grandma June for being 92 and still living her life like anyone else!
My little boy just said "is she real?".. (as opposed to an actress).. And when I said yes, he said can her and her children come to our house 😂❤️
My 2 children and I love to watch your vids xx
My son does that with UA-camrs. He always asks if we can go to their house or have a play date 🤣
That is adorable ☺️! I love how little ones are so sweet with endless imagination.
I am Indian, and I am from Chennai. I have heard your daughter's name so many times in your videos but finding out the story was so moving and relatable to me. Love from Chennai.
I love the story behind Priya’s name. I’m natively from Chennai and have visited multiple times.
I literally pick my baby names based on how they'll sound at graduation!! Lol
Abigail Simpson
That’s not bad! I pictured how they’d look on business cards at a Fortune 500 company.
I was told scream the name you want to pick down the hall 50 times. See how it feels to yell it bahaha
Yup, i picture them introducing themselves to someone, shaking hands, or having to address an audience and introduce themselves "Good afternoon everyone, I'm x Name Lastname x "
Native Americans(Indians)!change name multiple times,during a lifetime... aknowledgeing the changes in ones life...I took on ,the tradition...so I've now changed name 5 times... honouring parents and grandparents as a child/tween...in adolescence I picked a random name describing my activity...and now my name will be native to my father's county...for the rest of my life or until something Spectacular (marriage etc) happens...
All these changes of name, makes it way easier,for me, to figure out, from where/when, I know/knew,a person😉
I usually only socialize,with the same person for 5-10 years...
McEwan eating the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms is a mood hahaha so precious
That's the only way to eat Lucky Charms!
Your middle name story reminded me of my daughter. Her name is Michelle Ann and she knew how to spell her name when she went to school. However, she was confusing "Ann" and "and". I have a little pottery bowl she made me in second grade at school signed "Michelle &". Needless to say it's still precious to me even though she will be 40 this year!
I love this story ❤️
My God Mother is named Michelle Ann ❤
Now that's unique & precious. 😃
So is mine, same story!
40? man NOW she must be 43
Bubba's name reveal! If this didn't break the internet, it should have for sure!
I love that all the kid's names have a beautiful meaning but also are so unique.
I had to ask someone that went to school with him because I said "Bubba cannot be his real name..." and she told me what it was but then swore me to secrecy because she is assuming there is a reason they didn't want it out on the internet. HAHA!
This is a direct quote from her website.. :)
“Oh, and just to set the record straight, you can call him Bubba. It's not some creepy pet name or anything. Though his birth certificate says Brandt Hutchings Page, he's been “Bubba” since the day he was born. Heck, even his high school diploma and business cards say Bubba, so it's legit, I promise.”
I just realized that beck is a name from victorious and the guy who plays him is named avon
You might be the only person ever to say that twins are “fun” 😂😂
Love y’all!
i love how much family names came into play while putting your own person spin on them!! all of their names are so sweet and unique 💖
You have such interesting stories for all of your names. I love how you put lots of thought and care into how their names will "grow" with them.
One of my biggest concerns was something that looked professional on a business card and something that was pretty much a name with no obvious nicknames. It’s confusing when you’re known at work by your nickname but your card and correspondence has a different name! So I was looking at things like Sarah, John, etc (can you tell it was an issue for me? 😂)
@@Lucinda_Jackson my name is Sarah, its pretty basic, but I really like it. It's a good name for kids and adults
marie_sarii
Yes! Sarah was one of the names I liked, but my husband mixed it. Not sure why. We ended up with an Emily. It’s got some possible nicknames, but none that people would presume on. And, it turns out, she hated people changing her name - when she was only 2, a neighbor kept calling her Emmy. I never said anything as she was a sweet older lady and it did no harm. But one day when Emily was 2 1/2, she turned to the neighbor and said, “Don’t call me that! My name is Emily!” We we’re all flabbergasted, but nobody was offended and she was never “Emmy” again! 😂😂 So I guess it turned out well that I decided to choose something with no obvious nicknames!
I truly believe all names are special, & should be prayerfully considered. A name is powerful, & will set the course for their life.
I'm from Chennai... Priya's name has always intrigued me...
Glad you like it!
I always felt it would have something to do with India 😁 😁😁
@@jordanpagecompany i am from india and i always thought how priya is your daughter's name in USA. confusion cleared now.
Sandhya Chakrapani me too
@Saga Fox-Wilde OMG that's Wow!
Loved hearing about all of your beautiful children's names!
Aw I truly love how thoughtful each of your kids names are ❤️
Well. For many of us GenXers Jack Deveraux from Days of Our Lives will always hold a place of antihero love in our hearts. You can always go that way!
I absolutely LOVE name stories so thank you for sharing this! My daughter is named the fairly common and popular, Sofía. Since we're Puertorican we chose to spell it in Spanish rather than with "ph." And her name was essentially chosen for her. When I was 11 I was in the hospital and had just been diagnosed with a severe, rare blood disorder. I was scared I was going to die (as it turns out I WAS deathly sick) and that first night in the hospital I had a dream where I heard a thundering voice telling me to not be afraid. That I would survive because I would one day have a little girl named Sofía who would change the world. I woke up the next morning and assured my mom I wouldn't die and told her all about the dream. 22 years later I miraculously became pregnant with my first (and, ultimately, my only) child and when we found out it was a girl we immediately knee this was THE Sofía I'd been waiting for for over two decades. Since the first name was technically my choice, my hubby chose her middle name. He'd always liked the name Jezebel from the Bible. At first I was vehemently opposed but after a lot of research we've come to believe that Jezebel's reputation was tainted throughout history. Historical researchers have concluded that Jezebel was actually strong, intelligent woman who was far ahead of her time. She was such a brilliant, independent businesswoman that the men around her felt their oppressive "machismo" threatened . And so they did to Jezebel what has been done to so many women throughout history: they destroyed her reputation. Since most all books/historical accounts back then were written by men her name was forever tainted. With the negative connotation removed from my mind, I finally saw just how beautiful the name Jezebel actually is. And so, that's how Jezebel became my daughter's middle name. I don't think I would've felt comfortable making it her first name because even if our opinions of the name are totally positive we don't expect the world's mindset to change just because ours did. We didn't want our girl to suffer because we gave her a name with a historically negative connotation. She's 9 now & she loves her name because it's unique edgy & unexpected...just like her.
amazing
Aww, I got all teary as well ❤️ Love hearing about their names ❤️ Bless you All 🍀
I literally got goose-bumps when you told each names’ background 👍🏽
I love hearing why people chose their children’s names. So fun! My husband is Branson, so the entire time you said Brandtsen my mind couldn’t separate the two sound wise hahah. I love your sons name and spelling.
Love the story about Grandma June!! Definitely sounds like an inspirational lady! :)
I feel the love you have for names too. I could talk all day about names. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love all of those names! Your whole family is filled with such great names.
I know you’re someone who likes to save money, but American Girl’s girl of the year 2020’s name is Joss and her story is incredible! Since the doll will only be available until next year, you should get her one and set it aside for when she’s older!😊
I love allll of your children’s names. I always really liked them but after hearing the story behind them all it makes me love them that much more.
Having 8 kids is the best! ❤️ I love the stories behind the names!
Oh Jordan!!! What a fabulous video!!! I absolutely LOVE names too, and knowing the background and history of the names! Thank you!!!!
I love this. This is so real. Makes me fall in love again with all my kids' names again. I'm expecting our first boy now. His name is all picked out. Which makes me realize there is 1 more guy with a special name we haven't yet used. Maybe we have 1 more boy coming. 💙💙🥳🥰😁
When Jordan started to get emotional, like automatically I got emotional too 😭😭😭😭 love the names though 💕💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing these special names with us. I’ve always wondered all of your kids names!! ❤️
Your little ones are the cutest little beings that I have ever seen. With 8 little ones you are the bravest woman I have seen in a long time.
Love hearing about your family & baby names💗 I’m getting into family history/genealogy and love learning all the stories.
Love the chaos!❤️😂 I have a daycare home 8 children 5 and under. So crazy so great! Organization is key!
You are like June , I have a 19 month year old and I nearly brush my hair everyday . I am in awe with the clean house , make up and your nails are done and your a business women 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
As so as I saw the Picture of Your Children it made Me smile! What LOVE!😇
I LOVE Multnomah Falls!!!! We used to go evey summer or any time any one would visit from out of state.. I used to live like 45 minutes away!!! 😭😭😭 I miss Oregon! ❤
Totally thought the story behind Rome was going to be “not built in a day” because you had to wait so long to get him
That is such a good idea. You just made my day with this statement. Really beautifully thought out.
I love unique names with special meanings!
Your kids have beautiful names. I love the uniqueness of their first names.
Hello from a Brazilian that lives in (and loves) Oregon! 🌲 🌲 💚
Such cute and well thought names. I went to high school with a girl named Dayvee.
Love all of the unique baby names.
I am with you. I just love coming up with unique names for unique human beings. Love from Barbados
I legit had a dream about having eight kids and all there names and I was like Jesus is giving me a sign and there were all adopted and my heart 💗 melted💞 so I kept thinking is there anyone like me and I see your video
My 10 year old daughter's first and middle names are Paige Jordan and she thought it was so cool when we found you on UA-cam. By the way, your suggestions have made such a positive impact on our lives. Especially, with creating more structure with 2 kids during this time.
Tell Paige hello!!! Love her name! ❤️
Oh my bosh! Mac looks sooo much like Bubba! Ya'lls babies are gorgeous and I love the stories behind the name. Thank you!
I’m obsessed with your family and videos. Thanks for sharing and making me tear up too ❤️
My kids are Dayton and Blair!! Love those names!
I love hearing the names! YES it is SO stressful naming a person! I am adopting, and pretty sure I've zeroed in on my boy's name, but the girl's list is still a mile long. :) Love all the stories!
What a fun video! I love the unedited parts..totally, 100% life!
Your calm in the chaos is incredible. Well done mumma, you do an awesome job x
This family is sooo inspiring!!! My own kids names were taken from my favorite author's books - Jude Devereaux. My oldest two kids names are a play on each other - Cole (From Old King Cole), Anna (From The King and I), and youngest is Emily Elizabeth from Clifford the Big Red Dog.
Love you Jordan! You have inspired me to have kids, when I was young I dreaded having kids even feared it. I surprisingly got pregnant with my only child (at the moment) and she has turned out to be my best friend I plan on having 5 more (already named) and cant wait to have them so close in age hopefully twins.
We already have 5 dogs
Always watch your videos, your such an inspiration!
Keep doing you cause we all love it! 💕💕
I was so excited when I heard you named your daughter Priya. Priya is part of my name. It's Sanskirt for dear or the dearest to someone. My respect for you has grown hearing about your experience in Chennai. Thank you for all the guidance and advice you've given me. I'm only just entering adulthood and I want to do it smartly.
I also really like Daivy. It sounds just like devi, or goddess, in Sanskirt.
Yes! This is real life! Love it!
Love all the names! I grew up thinking my middle name was Lynn up until I was in my teens, then found out it was Lyn. Not a huge difference but kind of funny.
Did anyone hear her say "her youngest is eating out of the pantry?" lol. Obviously her twins are the youngest but I just thought it was so funny because I call all of my kids "the youngest" HA.
And, how cute was he just chilling in the pantry helping himself!
That was soooooo fun to learn about the names and how they were all chosen with love! I adore you and your family!
I LOVE that you used so many family names, I also love the realness of this video
It's funny how something such as spelling of a name makes all the difference.
My husband's name starts with an R and since we were having a boy a started with "R" names... 200 names later (husband agreed with nada) I said how about Riot.. he said yes, our family was so confused why we would name our son Riot. Eventually the spelling ended up being Ryatt and everyone loves his name now. He's still our Riot (a bright display of color) but also our Ryatt meaning (lightning)⚡ so it was fitting. The kid lights the room up so its perfect.
Ahh I loved the craziness with all the kids in this video! Straight up real life! Thank you for that entertainment.
Don’t know the gender of our 5th and final baby and struggling with a boy name. I kinda gave my husband naming rights for this one so he did finally settle on a first name and now asked for help with the middle name. Definitely going to dig a little deeper into family history now because all of our boys have family names within their names. Loved that you had an honest convo with your no longer living grandma on the name. I have actually considered doing that with my grandpa because we want to In corporate his name somehow but don’t actually like his first or middle name.
Not and announcement…. K…. BYE!! 🤣🤣🤣. Love it! Thanks for the awesome content!! 🥰
I love how real this video is! The crazy is real in big families! I love your name stories.
Omggg I have always thought Priya is such an Indian Name and I wondered about what made you name her that. Anddddddd I am from Chennai too!!!!!! I was not expecting to hear that story, Thank You for doing such helpful work❤🥺💯
Your name is cute too. I visited Chennai and it is beautiful. I need a name for my baby!
@@autismenlightenment Awww! Thanks!!!
Congrats on the baby🥺❤
@@autismenlightenment Boy or Girl?
@@fallbackbee9170 the pregnancy was a surprise so we are letting the gender be a surprise also. Find out when they get here in February.
@@autismenlightenment omg same pregnant with number 4 a surprise so is the gender! Due February 21!
One of my favorite youtubers. Your personality is amazing and I love your big family! I have 9 siblings 🥰
I love how “imperfect” your videos are. It inspires me to start my channel. I’ve held myself back because I don’t have the perfect lighting, perfect background noise, perfect house, etc. thank you for inspiring me to just be me!!❤️
Seriously you are the best! So real, so down to earth, so relatable. I just think you’re amazing!
Clicked so quick when this popped up 😍😍
Hope you like it! It's a long one! 😅
@@jordanpagecompany the longer video the better! 😁
Such a cute video. I am due in October and already picked a name "Mia". 😄😄😄😇😇😇
Love watching you talk about your grandparents. I was very attached to my grandpa, he was also quick witted and funny. He always had a come-back. 🥰😍 Your kiddos are adorable and I love listening to you.
ETA: Omg, I had a grandma June, she passed when I was 5 (1993) She was very special. She was married to my grandpa Clyde, I mentioned above.
The main (female) character from one of my favorite books as a teen was Davey. I’ve always loved that name for a girl 💕
“Mac” looks so much like Bubba...
Honestly I swear I see Bubba first in every kid!
Apple didn't fall far from the tree 😂❤️
I searched for this video last week!!
Glad you made it :)
Oh my gosh. I have a grandma graveside baby story as well. You gave me goosebumps when you started talking about cleaning off your grandma's gravestone!
Fellow Leigh over here! My grandmother's middle name was Lee.
in danish "sen" is used as an ending for somebody being the son of. Last names such as Jensen (son of Jens) and Olsen (son of Ole) comes from this tradition, I found it very cute that Brandtsen would mean the son of Brandt in Danish. Fun fact Brandt is also a danish lastname meaning "burned"
Br æ ndt
Love that some of their names you prayed for! Nothing like looking beyond the veil for some help on the other side🤗💕 love the names🤗
Love love love this!
My maiden name is “Davey,” so I’ve always been curious to hear the story for Daivy’s name! 🙂
I have 14 children all planned and they are all my husband and my children... a Rhonda Lynn, John Edward, Eric Stephen, Elizabeth Diane, Emily Kayla, Carlton Harris, Bryan Tomas, Sterling Alexander, Brandon Mark, Levi Michael, Molly Ann, Charles Scott, Samuel Levi and Jeffrey Asher simple plain America names easy to spell respectful for when they get older❤ and I agree it's a big responsibility giving your child a name. Love your children names, sounds like you had fun naming them.
All lovely names but That Harris in there rocks ❤️
Love the names. My kids all have somewhat unique names, all Hebrew, one of them is Asher.
Love this video. So here for your vibes Jordan ❤️🙏🏼 you’re amazing. Love it.
Awwwww!! When I was 9, I FELL in love with the Bernese Mtn Dog. I wrote to the AKC and requested info on them (this was before the Internet). We lived in a tiny home and in so cal where it’s never cold, so my mom never let me! Now I live in Idaho and maybe I will live my dreams out. So sweet!
Do it!
Loved getting to hear the stories about the names you chose. I’ve often wondered how you spelled Daivy. Long story short: I was not given a middle name by my parents and did not like my given name. In my mid 30s, I picked up the nickname of Dave. As part of my midlife crisis, I got tired of people telling me it wasn’t my real name, so I legally added it. Daivy won’t be nearly as confusing for your kiddo as Dave has been for me, and if I had heard her name years ago I may have swiped it! Side note: since I actually knew Bubba as Brandt, I probably would have said Brandtsen correctly. 🤗
McEwan will always be my favorite, obviously, but I appreciate all of the unique names you've chosen. While I never plan to have children, you voiced every naming insecurity I would ever have ("What will this look like on a nametag? A diploma? A business card? Will they have to share my frustration of not being able to find 90s-era kitsch with their name already printed on it?! Dear Lord - what if they work in a call center?!!")
I also love the name Devereux and the sad fact the he will (inevitably) develop the ability to watch a teacher/professor's eyeballs go across his name and be able to help them before they butcher it. In my small hometown everyone knew how to say my last name, but once I got to college I found that it really throws some people for a loop.
People need to listen with their ears and not their eyes. My whole life I have had to explain my names to adults. But say it once to a kid and they get it first time.
I love this style of storytime 🥰
Such beautiful names!
Girl Frankies are the best ;) felt like I got a shoutout! love your names
They really are! LOVE your name! ❤️
I have a Merrick and an Atlas, both names are from Call of Duty games. My hubby is a total computer/gamer nerd.🥰
I adore your kids names! All so distinct and diverse from each other, my faves are Daivy and Devereux
WOW you put so much thought in those names... I love it
You must be a very patient person to be able to do everything that you’re doing Jordan.
Names are so important! I named myself Risa Lyn when I was 2yrs old. My mom picked out a beautiful name for me- but it wasn’t me! Also we just adopted a Russian Blue Cat-on the drive home she was crying. Her original name was Misty, but then we decided to change her name. My husband wanted to name her Starr- I asked her if her name was Starr and she stopped crying! Names are important and I think finding the True Name of someone, finding the essence of their soul is one of the most precious and liberating things you can do.
Such a cute family picture! Happy Babies!!!!
❤ I'm fascinated by names & keep a list, too!
❤ I have 5 grown kids, 3 grandchildren & still save cool names. I have approx. 250 of the most amazing names ever.
❤ I just added Calypso Rose to my list yesterday.
❤ I love all your kid's names!!!
As a new momtuber, I worry about divulging too much info on youtube. I have 3 girls and as a nigerian American, names are not to be taken lightly so i enjoyed hearing the stories behind your kids names.
