NAME OF THE DAY: Snow

With a historic nor'easter  in the 🗽New York Metropolitan tri-state area causing a snow ⛄ day, I decided to talk about the fitting name: 📛Snow 

Everyone surely knows the 🧚‍♀️fairytale character Snow White.🤍 With how popular the Brothers Grimm story 📖 is you would think there would a lot of little girls named Snow but the icy name ranks📉#3625 in 2024 on the US Top 1000 popular 📛names chart.📊 Once upon a time, Snow once peaked high on the Top 1k chart at 📈#1469 in 1894. ⏪ However, Snow ranks right above 1k at #728 on Nameberry's🍒 Top 1000 list. 📃  

Snow is from the English word, derived from Old English snāw. Snow is also a surname. 📛

The most Snows live in 📍Vermont 🥶 and 📍North Carolina. 

Nameberry🍒 describes Snow as: "brisk, fresh, pure, evocative -- and magical. A haunting middle name choice."

Behind the Name comments on the super rare, dainty name Snow are divided 🤔:

I'm a 🧚‍♀️fairy tale fan 🙋🏾‍♀️ so I love 💗 the name 📛Snow. I think it's really darling 🥰 and 🦄different.  End of story. 📕

NAME OF THE DAY: Jaafar

With Jaafar Jackson, the nephew of the late, great 👑Michael Jackson —  being in the spotlight with the release of the film 🎥 trailer for Michael, in which he portrays his uncle — I will discuss the jarring name: 📛Jaafar! 

The name Jaafar means 'stream' and is used "dominantly in Gujarati, Arabic, Kannada, Marathi and Hindi." Jaafar is a variant of the name 📛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: 📍Michigan and 📍Vermont. In 📍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 📛Jaafar (although I prefer it with one 'a') despite that it's quite a dark name being associated with Aladdin's nefarious nemesis. 😅 I think Jaafar (or Jafar) is a 😎 cool 📛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, 📛Jaafar will rise on the name 📈charts as well.

The happiest name on Earth? Disney

Influencer couple Josh and Aubree Jones seem to think naming their newborn daughter 📛Disney is smile worthy, happy news. 

However, the internet seems to have negative things to say about the harmless name Disney.  

The couple have heard it all: "People telling them it “should be illegal,” that they had infringed on a trademark, that their kid would be bullied in school. Even their own parents “weren’t too excited about it,” says Aubree. Josh’s mom laughed when they revealed the name to her, and Aubree’s mom told them she preferred Daisy." 🌼

Why did they go with the name Disney? The pair says the name has a deep resonance for their family: Aubree grew up in California and Josh was raised in Florida, so they each were in proximity to Disney theme parks throughout their childhood and have only magical memories attached to them. “Disney movies probably raised us almost as much as our parents did. But the main thing, though, when we were looking at it as a name was what it represents and the person — Walt Disney — what he created and how he impacted our lives and the world. The name that she has right now is perfect for her. It matches her energy. It matches her sweetness. She looks like a Disney,” Josh says of their daughter.

I like the name 📛Disney — it's cute 🐭 and a fun 🎉 name. Now if the Jones' had named their daughter Walt, then I would have to scratch my head and say, wtf?! 😳
