90 Day Fiancé’s Tigerlily Taylor Shockingly Reveals Who Chose Her New Name After Confirming Her Ethnicity
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Tigerlily Taylor, who recently revealed her real name, is now talking about who chose her new name for her. The 41-year-old Tigerlily is a certified handwriting expert. She lives in Frisco, Texas, and married the love of her life, a 22-year-old model from Amman named Adnan Abdelfattah, in September 2023. Tigerlily had met Adnan on Instagram and instantly liked him. Their connection was too strong for Tigerlily to not marry him the moment she arrived in Jordan, despite sensing that he was going to be a controlling husband.
Tigerlily Taylor from 90 Day Fiancé revealed that she had a different name when she was born. Tigerlily used to be called Mariko. Now she’s revealing who chose her new name.
Tigerlily is now the reality TV star’s legal name. However, she did not choose it for herself. In a recent Q&A session with her Instagram followers, Tigerlily answered questions about her ethnicity and her unique name (via Murrayhillthrill). She revealed that she is half Japanese on her mother’s side, and her father is Austrian and Native American. Tigerlily added that since she chose her kids’ names, she let her children pick her name when she thought of changing it. “They love the Peter Pan movie,” she added, and spoke about a character named Princess Tigerlily in the movie.
What Tigerlily Taylor’s Name Revelation Means
Tigerlily explained that her namesake princess in the movie is Native American. “And that’s why they picked Tigerlily,” the reality TV star mentioned. Tigerlily has been very forthcoming when it comes to talking about her backstory with her followers. While most 90 Day Fiancé cast members usually choose to keep things that happened to them before the show a secret, Tigerlily talked about her rich and controlling ex-husband during the first few minutes of her introduction. She also hosts an interactive session with her Instagram followers after every episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 7.
Tigerlily has been criticized for choosing to marry a man she only knew for four months, but a lot of things about her make her seem relatable. The young mom values her kids’ privacy and respects her cultural background. She’s independent and fierce, and has proved her critics wrong by being married to Adnan for a whole year when everyone else might have thought a divorce was in the cards. Tigerlily letting her kids choose her name was a sweet gesture. She’s also embraced her roots with a name that also sounds unique.
Our Take On Tigerlily Taylor’s Kids Choosing Her Name
Tigerlily changed her original name because it sounded like a homophobic slur in Spanish. It was also given to her by a person who poisoned, killed, and stole from someone she really cares about. Tigerlily has revealed that the person who named her wasn’t one of her parents but was certainly someone close to her who stabbed her in the back. She also thinks that someone should be able to pick their own name, and her kids helping her do just that shows how precious the bond between the 90 Day Fiancé star and her kids is.
