Yes, Disney creatives at one point sat around a table and somebody said, "Hey, instead of a princess, what if she was a maid -- and instead of a name, what if she was just called something phonetically very similar to an archaic racist term for black women?"

Yes, whatever would it be like if a princess were a maid of all things who ever heard of such a thing maybe even they asked her to sweep up cinders or wash a wishing well or something.

I agree that Maddy isn't a great name for a princess (although clearly short for Madeline), the new princess is going to be named Anna, so clearly Disney doesn't exactly think every princess ought to be named Aurora or Jasmine.

I agree with you, nonnie. That section of the article is still great because the watermelon and vanilla dipping candies are so over-the-top wrongly hilarious, though.

They should have at least chosen another name that fit the setting. Nobody in early 20th century New Orleans would be named Tiana. It sounds like someone pulled it from a hat full of modern princessy-sounding names.

Probably the sound association with tiara? Though my google-fu tells me it's short for Christiana, so it's even weirder they'd pick that.

Thinking about it, I'll go with the hat explanation.
