Traditionally a masculine name in Russian and associated with several saints, Makari could also be inspired by the Greek word Μακάρι/Makári, meaning "I wish".

Cardi B is the stage name of the rapper born Belcalis Almanzar.

Laylani has made the US Top 1000 in 2020 as well as 2022, but has no where close to the popularity of the original Leilani.
