[Opinions] Utah
I just got back from a senior recital here on campus. There were different performers and such and one of them was a man named Utah (who played the bass). I thought it was a really interesting name. I've heard Montana and Indiana before and even Jersey, but never Utah. Wdyt? BTW, he's a professor here at the university.

I lived in Utah for roughly two years and I thought you were going to show some birth announcements from there. It's truly the origin of some of the most bizarre naming I have ever encountered.Utah for a male is...interesting. Perhaps there was Ute Indian in his ancestry.

I know a guy named UtahI guess he was from Mozambique and lived down the hall from me. Hmm, he was quite good looking. ;-)

Utah comes from the Ute Native American tribe it means "top of the mountain." So I've always been told. So, I looked it up and I found it means "People of the mountain." I live in this state. So while i'd never use it.... I love it.

Did you know actually I am in Utah right now? I got to BYU!
I'm in Provo, Utah. Ugly name, though, IMO. Beautiful state though I'm looking at the mountains right now and the sunshine on them! (Though fading away).~diamond

Well. It's better than Idaho! :DI wonder if it has some sort of significance to his family or something? Otherwise it seems ridiculous.
