Mormon name generator?

[azurelunatic]

They're a funny old bunch, those latter day saints. Rather than picking names from their heritage, or the Bible, the Utah Mormons tend to make them up. Sometimes they'll combine the parents' names into one (BenDonna, for example). Other times it's impossible to quite understand what their parents were thinking; names like Zestpool and Zon'tl aren't uncommon.

We can understand why you might be jealous of names like these. After all, they are far more interesting and exciting than your own. Luckily, help is at hand with the Mormon Name Generator; simply indicate your first name, last name and your gender preference below, and we'll Mormonise your moniker.

My Mormon name is Paradise Sunrise Bridges!

That's...odd. I wonder if they've ever glanced through the Salt Lake City phone book. I dunno...I don't remember there being a whole lot of hippy-style named people there. Admittedly I grew up a Reorganized Mormon rather than a Mormon (The RLDS church is based in Independence, Missouri, and followed Joseph's Smith son when the church split, while the main branch followed Brigham Young) but I was in Utah for a couple of weeks at one point. I didn't notice a lot of weird names...and you'd think, as a teenager, I would have noticed. ^_^

Probably they haven't. I found the name generator more fun to play with than the actual concept...
