Is Selena Gomez's mom named Mandy Teefy, Mandy Cornett, or Mandy Gomez?

Asked by mollypop51797 (1430points) December 23rd, 2009

Ok, I know this is a random question, but it just came across to me about what Selena’s mom is named. I have heard Mandy Teefy, Mandy Cornett, but Mandy Gomez the least. Also, is Mandy her name or is it a nickname? If so, what for? I’m just pondering this simple question, any answers?

According to Wikipedia: “Gomez was born in Grand Prairie, Texas to Ricardo Gomez and Mandy Teefy (née Cornett), a former stage actress who was 16 when she gave birth to Gomez.”

I can never get those 45 seconds of my life back.

You have my deepest sympathy, Radar.

Mandy is usually a variant of the name Amanda. Note that I say variant and not nickname. A nickname would be if she went by the name “Shorty.”

And, to spare you further contemplation, the word “nee” means birth name. The correct order to the names would be Amanda “Mandy” Cornett Teefy Gomez.

No, she’s neither. Her real name is Richard Nixon.

Her maiden name is Mandy Cornett. I went to Middle School and High School with her and Selena’s Dad in Grand Prairie. Teefy is her married name. She was never married to Selena’s Dad so her name has always been Mandy Cornett and recently she got married so she goes by Mandy Teefy now.

Mandy Cornett called Teefy. And so it should be. Come on the most beautiful woman in the world.
