MIDDLE MYSTERY: What is Rihanna's middle name?

 πŸ€”πŸ“›"πŸ“›Rihanna is singer Robyn Rihanna Fenty's middle name."  


When 🎀Rihanna first stepped  ☂️ on the 🎡music scene, I assumed like most, her first name was Rihanna. ✔ Wrong.🚫 πŸ“›Robyn πŸ¦is her first name and although cute (too, the name of 🎀Robyn the Swedish singer), it was a great choice πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ to go by her middle name professionally. Rihanna is a distinct, gorgeous, one-of-a-kind πŸ’Žname (meaning "basil" in Arabic, derived from πŸ“›Rayhana). My only gripes with it are: sometimes I write it mistakenly as πŸ“›Rhianna (which is an alt spelled version of πŸ“›Rihanna) 🀦🏾‍♀️ or I think of the similar yet unrelated Welsh name πŸ“›Rhiannon (I'm not a big fan of it 🀷🏾‍♀️). Also the pronunciation is tricky: I see Ree-hanna but say Ree-ona. 😬 Rihanna herself says: @:15πŸ”Š"It is Ree-anna." πŸ‘ŒπŸΎ

NAME OF THE DAY: Jaafar

With Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late, great πŸ‘‘Michael Jackson —  being in the spotlight with the release of the film πŸŽ₯ trailer for Michael, in which he portrays his uncle — I will discuss the jarring name: πŸ“›Jaafar! 

The name Jaafar means 'stream' and is used "dominantly in Gujarati, Arabic, Kannada, Marathi and Hindi." Jaafar is a variant of the name πŸ“›Jafar. Jafar is "most commonly associated with the Disney villain from Aladdin," Nameberry points out. 

In the United States, the places where the most Jaafars live include: πŸ“Michigan and πŸ“Vermont. In πŸ“Iraq, Jaafar is a popular baby boy name where "every 1 in 600 have the name as well as in, Syria, Malaysia, Morocco, Jordan and Nigeria."

I like the name πŸ“›Jaafar (although I prefer it with one 'a') despite that it's quite a dark name being associated with Aladdin's nefarious nemesis. πŸ˜… I think Jaafar (or Jafar) is a 😎 cool πŸ“›name. Jaafar may be rare and uncommonly used as a boy's name in the U.S. but perhaps with Jaafar Jackson's ⭐star rising, πŸ“›Jaafar will rise on the name πŸ“ˆcharts as well.
