Mormon Madness

One of my favorite sites for bad baby names is the Utah Baby Namer. Check it out, it's a lot of fun!

Now I don't know too much about the Mormons or the LDS (Latter Day Saints) Church, but aside from the fact that they have a lot of children and occasionally practice polygamy--apparently they are very fond of prefix names (taking any halfway normal common name and adding an unnecessary prefix such as -La, -Sha, -Le etc.) and what I call "smush" names (taking any combination of two names--usually the parents-- and trying to force them together into some abomination of random madness).

Speaking of...here's a sample of said random madness from UBN's 'best of' list:

Violin
Sonica
Grik
Tchae
Xko
Iron Rod
Treasure Cocaine
Rifle
Gatobon
Mormon Miracles
Junola
Wavie
Hummingbird
Trystal
Young'n
Vindalu
Sterile
Taffilyn
Evol (love spelled backwards)

The winner of the "are you sure your child was born in Utah and not Seattle" award:

Winners of the "you really ARE from Utah" award:

Creativity at its finest...

Here's my entry for today, but first an important UPDATE: A few entires back I posted up a story concerning a child named Adolph Hitler. Well, it seems young Adolph and his sister Aryan Nation were taken from their parents and put into foster care. Check it out HERE

And now on to today's names... no list-- just a funny name related video I came across on youtube:



I think (and I will have to take liberties with the spellings) it goes

Deonna
Deon Jr
Deonvay
Deontay
Demontay
Deondrus
and My'ana

Whew- falls on the floor in exhaustion

No words. None. ROTFL
