What is "Recipe the name" mean?

My daughter likes to listen to the Psalty Kids' Praise tapes in the car, hand-me-downs from my childhood. There's one song she particularly likes, that has a line in the chorus - "Blessed be the name, Blessed be the name, Blessed be the name of the Lord our God!"

She's still learning how to pronounce most words, and so she asks us now what things mean. So the other day she asked us, "What is 'Recipe the name' mean?" We finally figured out she meant "Blessed be the name" and was just pronouncing it wrong, which produced a good laugh. But when we told her it was "Blessed" she just said, no, it was Recipe. So now, she sings "Recipe the name, Recipe the name, Recipe the name of the Lord our God!" at the top of her lungs. Additionally, she attempts to make vibrato by raising her head and shaking it back and forth with her eyes closed and her mouth wide open while singing.

Sometime I'll catch it on video and post it here.

It is pretty darn cute. Cuter still is the way she ends the song, unaccompanied by the singers on the tape, with a calm "Yeah". Not a big rock star "YEAH!", but a quiet "yeah", as if you had asked her if she had finished her broccoli.

That is hilarious - I'll be laughing for a long time about this one.
