We named our daughter Ireland because my husband is Irish and loves all things Irish! And we call her Irie sometimes for short…

This post is old now, but I remembered the nickname. She goes by the name Addie (but I’m not sure how that links itself to Ireland).

Thanks Chatty Cricket!
I’m so happy you like my little girl’s nickname…it’s always nice to hear that people love her name because we sure do love her!

Meghan, this is the first I’ve heard the nickname “Landi” for Ireland, and I LOVE IT!

Marissa,
We call our little girl whom is named Ireland “Landi”. Maybe they use Landi as a nickname too… though I’ve never heard/seen it being used by them.

Irishgal, I think they named their Daughter Ireland because it’s a very beautiful name (though not too common). Most likely they’re Irish or perhaps they love the Country and decided to name their Daughter after a place they love. It’s actually common here in the US to name your child after a country,city or state that has a special meaning to the family… hence all the Paris’s,London’s Brooklyn’s,Boston’s,Georgia’s,Alabama’s etc… I named my Daughter Ireland not only because it’s a beautiful name but because it’s a beautiful place we love to visit and because we are very Irish… even though we are American’s.

What is the nickname Ireland goes by?

Sarah’s note: I’ve never heard about her being called a nickname.

I also wanted to add that I am happy to see that Alec and Ireland have reconciled. It must have been extremely hard on her to be in the middle of such a bitter custody dispute.

Mary, your story made me crack up! It’s something I could totally see my mom doing (and probably me once I have kids)!

I’m so glad their relationship has moved on and calmed down from the phone-call recording incident.

It seems like Ireland is happy to be out with him but I remember I always wanted to sit with my friends if we were out with my parents. I thinks it’s a nice balance between protective and giving some freedom for Alec to sit a few rows back.
