Interesting facts and trivia about Name For You. By Songfacts®.

This feminist empowerment ode was inspired by James Mercer's three daughters. They got a name for you girls What's in a name? They got a name for everything All of the clothes that you wear And all of your bits and pieces yeah The Shins frontman explained to UK newspaper The Sun: "Like all parents, I worry. I want my kids to feel strong and confident. And there's a lot out there that they'll have to fight through. Attitudes about gender still have some evolving to do. I just don't want anyone or anything slowing them down. It's bulls--t, after all."
