We have a 3 year generation with all girls names starting with a J and Jordyn was the name I wanted my mom to pick for my little sister that is now 15 an I’m now 31yrs of age so the name Jordyn stuck with me until I had my first baby girl

I always loved the name Jordyn. My name is Shannon which means ‘wise river’ and the name Jordyn stems from where Jesus was baptized and means to ‘flow down’ which I thought was a great complement to my name since she’s my daughter.
