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.

She also hosts an interactive session with her Instagram followers after every episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 7.
