NAME OF THE DAY: Diane

With the 😥 death of distinguished 🎥actress Diane Keaton (RIP. She was one of my favorite actresses 🥰)  — I decided to talk about the name: 📛Diane

Diane is actually the French form of 📛Diana. Diane is of Latin origin and means 'divine.' Nameberry delves into the name, "Diane has been overshadowed by the a-ending version of her name. Diane has a definite mid-century feel; it was a Top 20 name from 1946 to 1959." Diane surprisingly fell off being in the Top 1000 baby names in 2004.  Last year Diane was given as a girl's name to an average of only about 60 baby girls. This is really shocking the number is that low. 🤯

📍North Dakota is the state where the most Dianes live according to My Name Stats. I went to school (in NYC) with a Diane and Diana to my foggy 🧠 memory... both were nice girls I do remember. 📑I just remembered in college I had an internship and one of my boss' name was Diane — she was really wonderful.

Variants of 📛Diane include: 📛Dianne 📛Diann 📛Diahann 📛Diahnne 📛Dyan

I like the different versions of Diane and how edgy they look but the spelling gets a bit confusing and are hard to remember how to spell. 🤔 The original is best. 👌🏾 Simply put 📛Diane is a classic name. Even though it has 📈fallen dramatically on the baby name charts in popularity, 📛Diane still has potential to rise 📉 at a future point in time — and hopefully it will.

NAME OF THE DAY: Paris

Today is Bastille Day 🎆 in France, so I will be discussing the very French name: Paris 

Paris is the capital city of France. Paris got its name from the Gaulish tribe known as the Parisii.   

📛Paris is usually associated with being a girl's name but 📛Paris can be used for boys (actor Pierce Brosnan has a son named Paris) too. Nameberry says in 2004 it was #157 on the most popular baby  girl's name list but now it's at #484 as of 2024.   

Surprisingly, America is the country with the most babies named Paris, not France — California has the most people named Paris. Interestingly, Paris is often used as a surname 74% of the time. 

I think the name 📛Paris is pretty cool 😎 as I really like 📍place names. I like it a little more when used for a girl's name over a boy's name however. But either or, it's a stylish name that oozes well, style, oui? Yes. 👌🏾
