Miss America Names – Caleche, Jillayne, Osjha, Tangra, Venus

Did you know that there have been Miss Americas named Venus (1944), BeBe (1948), Jacque (1949), Vonda (1965) and Leanza (1993)?

Miss America 1926 had the middle name Des Cygne, which she then passed along to her daughter as a first name (…paired with the middle name L’Amour).

In 2000, the Miss America pageant included delegates named Brandee (from New Hampshire), Brandi (from New York) and Brandy (from Arkansas).

Other names I spotted skimming over lists of recent delegates include…

The first MacKenzie popped up in 2004, the first Makenna appeared in 2008, and the first Chasity will compete in 2009.
