A free, original lullaby written just for the name Ian — ready to read tonight or turn into a keepsake poster.
Little Ian soft and small
Glows like stars upon the wall
Silver beams begin to play
Guiding Ian throughout the day
Moon above so round and bright
Wraps the world in velvet light
Ian smiles and reaches high
Wishing on a star to fly
Twinkling stars in navy deep
Keep their watch while Ian sleeps
Every sparkle soft and new
Shines its love on Ian true
Written for Ian
A sample anyone can read. A keepsake poster gets a newly written rhyme.

Origin — Scottish Gaelic, from Hebrew
The Scottish Gaelic form of John, from the Hebrew Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious”.
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.
Every BabyVerse verse is built around one name and its sound, so Ian 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.
