A Nursery Rhyme for Collins

A free, original lullaby written just for the name Collins — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.

Collins and the Stars

Collins sleeps where starlight gleams,

Across the sky in silver streams,

The moon hums low a gentle tune,

To welcome little one so soon.

A twinkling star peeks down to say,

Goodnight, dear Collins, soft and gay,

The night sky wraps you, warm and bright,

A cozy kiss goodnight, goodnight.

Collins dreams on clouds of light,

Where little stars dance through the night,

They whisper songs of love so true,

And paint the heavens just for you.

What does the name Collins mean?

Origin — Irish and English

Two surnames converge: the Irish Ó Coileáin, from coileán, “young hound”, and the English Collins, “son of Colin” — Colin being a diminutive of Nicholas.

We follow the standard reference works on given names, and we say so plainly when a meaning is unsettled rather than choosing the prettiest one.

A rhyme written around Collins

Every BabyVerse verse is built around one name and its sound, so Collins hears their own name carried through the meter rather than dropped into a blank. That is the whole difference between a keepsake and a personalised product: the words could not be reused for another child.

Parents read it at bedtime. Grandparents and godparents frame it. Either way it is the one gift on the table that no one else can duplicate — which is why it tends to outlast everything else in the pile.
