"Today is the one year anniversary of me finding out Sasha Obama's actual first name is Natasha," Ashley Ford, a senior features writer at Refinery29, tweeted in a nonchalant fashion.
Many users responded that they were in some variation of "shook" upon learning the former first daughter's real name.
