When Michelle Williams Met Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams the 🎀singer, former member of 🎢Destiny's ChildπŸ‘©πŸ½πŸ‘©πŸΎπŸ‘©πŸΏ — met the other Michelle Williams — πŸŽ₯actress and ex partner of the late πŸŽ₯actor 🀑Heath Ledger. 

It's very cool the two name twins linked upπŸ†™— but was it bound to happen if they both have a "once superstar⭐" first name (#4πŸ“ˆ in the 70s and currently #465πŸ“‰ in US Top 1000πŸ“Š) and the third most popular family last name in the US?  

Now if they both had the same middle name as well, that would truly be kismet.πŸ’« But Michelle the actress' is: πŸ“›Ingrid. Michelle the singer's middle name is... Michelle! πŸ˜΅‍πŸ’« πŸ“›Tenitra is her first name! 🀯

Names.org says on the very rare name Tenitra: "Tenitra is a modern African American given name most widely recognized through the singer Tenitra Michelle Williams (of Destiny’s Child), which helps date the name’s emergence to late-20th-century U.S. Black naming traditions. Its structure and phonetics suggest creative coinage rather than direct derivation from a single Old World source; scholars often read such names as blendings or elaborations on familiar elements. Tenitra plausibly fuses the numeronymic “Ten-” (a stylistic prefix also seen in names like Tenisha) with the feminine suffix “-itra” (common in names such as Demetra/Demetra or Lakitra), aligning it with the broader African American onomastic pattern of innovative morphology, melodic cadence, and individualized identity. The meaning is thus primarily expressive and cultural-signaling uniqueness and community style-rather than a fixed lexical meaning traceable to one language."

I like singer William's first name Tenitra (which I never knew was her name until I researched her for this piece. 🀦🏾‍♀️ And I was a Destiny's Child fan growing up! πŸ˜–) over the too common Michelle. I also like actress William's middle name Ingrid more so than Michelle. Michelle is a nice name (I like the meaning: who is like God?, French var. of Michael) but it's a neutral name too — there's nothing special about it πŸ€·πŸΎ‍♀️ — but it's so familiar (I once had two bffs at the same time named Michelle. πŸ™‹πŸΎ‍♀️ In 🏫school they were known as 'the Michelles' and teachers would refer to them by their last names. Even in our friend group, myself and our other friends would refer to them by the initial of their last name often to differentiate the two.) you almost automatically like it. Nevertheless, I can't imagine either Williams going by anything but πŸ“›Michelle.

NAME OF THE DAY: Snow

With a historic nor'easter πŸŒ¨️ in the πŸ—½New York Metropolitan tri-state area causing a snow ⛄ day, I decided to talk about the fitting name: πŸ“›❄️Snow 

Everyone surely knows the 🧚‍♀️fairytale character ❄️Snow White.🀍 With how popular the Brothers Grimm story πŸ“– is you would think there would a lot of little girls named ❄️Snow but the icy name ranksπŸ“‰#3625 in 2024 on the US Top 1000 popular πŸ“›names chart.πŸ“Š Once upon a time, ❄️Snow once peaked high on the Top 1k chart at πŸ“ˆ#1469 in 1894. ⏪ However, ❄️Snow ranks right above 1k at #728 on Nameberry'sπŸ’ Top 1000 list. πŸ“ƒ  

❄️Snow is from the English word, derived from Old English snāw. ❄️Snow is also a surname. πŸ“›

The most ❄️Snows live in πŸ“Vermont πŸ₯Ά and πŸ“North Carolina. 

NameberryπŸ’ 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 πŸ€”:


I'm a 🧚‍♀️fairy tale fan πŸ™‹πŸΎ‍♀️ so I love πŸ’— the name πŸ“›❄️Snow. I think it's really darling πŸ₯° and πŸ¦„different.  End of story. πŸ“•
