None of us quite know how seriously to take Susan Ross, the woman who is
claiming to be Bob Dylan's long-time lover, and is writing a book about Bob
(whatever happened to that?) But in one of the many articles that appeared
in 1998, she mentions that Dylan has a youngest child (age 12), named
"Narette". If the child was around 12 in 1998, it makes sense that it would
have been born around 1985 -- the year "Lyrics" was published. So it makes
sense.

To answer your question, Narette is in all likelyhood, Bob Dylan's youngest
child.

...
"Narette" appears in the "Special Thanks" in the Knocked Out Loaded(1986) liner
notes as "Narette & Reggae Queen". There is no dedication to her in Writings
and Drawings (1972) which contains a dedication poem mentioning Cathy, Miriam &
Naomi who edited the work along with Woody, Robert Johnson, the "Great wondrous
melodious spirit" and "to Sara who made it all complete."

...of course it could be the name of sleigh Bob played with in the Minnesota
snows.
