What was Destiny’s Child called before adopting that name in 1996?

Destiny’s Child was called Girl’s Tyme before adopting that name in 1996.

The group began in Houston, Texas, in the early 1990s, with Beyoncé among its original members. Girl’s Tyme competed on the television talent program Star Search in 1993, although the group did not win the competition.

After changes in membership and management, the group was renamed Destiny’s Child. The name was inspired by a passage in the biblical Book of Isaiah. The group eventually became one of the best-selling female groups in music history.

The best-known lineup consisted of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Earlier lineups included LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett. Because the members and name changed during the group’s development, early-history accounts can differ in the details of who performed under each configuration.
