What Changing Names Does to One’s Persona

Author: Traci Love

Marilyn Look AlikeAnna Nicole Smith as we know her started her life out on November 28, 1967 as Vickie Lynn Hogan born in Harris County, Texas. She was the only child of Donald Eugene Hogan (born July 12, 1947) and Virgie Mae (née Tabers; born July 12, 1951). Her father didn’t stick around her long in her life as he left both her and her mother. They were only married for two years. Subsequently Anna was raised by her mother Virgie and Elaine (Todd) Tabers, wife of Virgie’s brother, Melvin Tabers. Anna had a half-brother, David Luther Tacker, Jr., who was one year older than her.

Her mother then remarried two years after her divorce to Anna’s father to Donald R. Hart and they gave birth to Anna’s younger half-brother Donald Ray Hart, Jr. It was after this marriage that Anna had her first name change, even her first name! Her new name was now Nikki Hart. She obviously thought this marriage would last, but alas it did not. It did make it 12 years. Her mother went on to marry many times more to Joe D. Thompson (1987, divorced 1991), James T. Sanders (1996, died 1996), and James H. Arthur (2000).

This carousel of men did not give Anna the right idea of what a good relationship was all about. Her mother was NOT the best of role models for her. It is no wonder that she did not have good luck in this department.

Her father also remarried and had more children, giving Anna more half-siblings, Donna Hogan (born 1971), Donald Ray Hogan (born 1973), and Amy Hogan (born 1975).

Her next name change came at age 17 when she married Billy Wayne Smith, who was 16 and a cook at the restaurant where she worked. The couple married April 4, 1985 and next year she gave birth to their son Daniel Wayne Smith. She and Billy separated in 1987 and she moved to Houston with one-year-old Daniel. They were officially divorced February 3, 1993, in Houston. I have not heard why Anna waited so long to get divorced.

I do know that her persona she developed was around the “Smith” name so there had to be some good reasoning, probably because it was Daniel’s last name and thereby not being outwardly obvious that she wasn’t with his father. It was a different approach than what she experienced by her mother who changed her name constantly. It makes a woman feel more joined to their children, this I know from experience myself.

Octogenarian – What in the Heck Does That Mean?

Author: Traci Love

Anna's 2nd Husband

Anna's 2nd Husband

Every news source I have read states that Anna Nicole’s billionaire husband, J Howard Marshall II, was an “octogenarian”.

I kept overlooking that figuring I was stupid and I had to admit to myself that I didn’t know before I would spend the time to investigate it. I thought maybe something to do with him giving away money like a philanthropist or maybe something to do with his type of work in the oil business.  I really didn’t have a clue.

Well that time is now and if you have been wondering what it means then let me clue you in too!

Ages divided by decade:

* Denarian: someone between 10 and 19 years old
* Vicenarian: someone between 20 and 29 years old
* Tricenarian: someone between 30 and 39 years old
* Quadragenarian: someone between 40 and 49 years old
* Quinquagenarian: someone between 50 and 59 years old
* Sexagenarian: someone between 60 and 69 years old
* Septuagenarian: someone between 70 and 79 years old
* Octogenarian: someone between 80 and 89 years old
