Commentary on the name Tiana:

When Disney first scripted an African-American princess, she was going to be a chambermaid named Maddy. After some early grumblings from the public, they went back to the drawing boards to cook up something a little more regal. Goodbye chambermaid, and goodbye Maddy. Enter Tiana, a contemporary African-American favorite with a fairy-dust sparkle that's just a hair's breadth from "tiara."
