Speaking of Tinamarie…the very similar name Teenamarie first appeared in the U.S. baby name data exactly three decades later, in 1985:
1987: unlisted
1986: unlisted
1985: 7 baby girls named Tennamarie [debut]
1984: unlisted
1983: unlisted
That was the year the song “Lovergirl” [vid] by R&B singer Teena Marie (born Mary Christine Brockert) peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #9 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart.
While the name Teenamarie was a one-hit wonder on the baby name charts, Teena Marie herself was not a one-hit wonder on the music charts; she released dozens of successful singles over the course of her career.
(Teena saw its highest usage in the mid-1950s, perhaps thanks to both the comic strip Teena and the fashion label Teena Paige. In both of those cases, the name Teena was based on the relatively new term “teenager.” The usage was also no doubt influenced by the rise of Tina.)
Which spelling do you like better, Tinamarie or Teenamarie?
In mid-1955, Perry Como released pop song “Tina Marie” [vid]. “Tina Marie” became a big hit, peaking at #6 on the Billboard Best Sellers chart in August.
And, just like “Mona Lisa” inspired parents to name their baby girls Monalisa in 1950, “Tina Marie” inspired parents to name their baby girls Tinamarie in 1955:
1957: 14 baby girls named Tinamarie
1956: 17 baby girls named Tinamarie
1955: 10 baby girls named Tinamarie [debut]
1954: unlisted
1953: unlisted
The name Tina also saw a spike in usage that year. No doubt many of these Tinas had the middle name Marie.
