If there’s one thing that follows anyone and everyone who gets involved with politics, it’s rumors.
And it’s safe to say thatNikki Haley is no stranger to a rumor or two.
But there’s more to this name origin story than meets the eye.
“Her name was Nimirata Haley.
Changed it to Nikki Haley,” one person incorrectly stated on X, formerly known as Twitter.
In her 1989 school yearbook, for example, she goes by the name Nikki Randhawa.
As for where the last name Haley came from?
I married a Haley.
I was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa and married Michael Haley."
But this isn’t the only time Nikki and a middle name have hit the headlines, though.
In fact, it’s because ofNikki that her husband goes by his current name, Michael Haley.
“You just don’t look like a Bill,” she told him.
“From that point on, I started calling him Michael, and all my friends did the same.
He looks like a Michael,” she wrote.
