HelpRe: Worst SE Idaho BAs in the last 10 years
in reply to a message by Xena
I mean there are bad naming choices in every group, I'm not as familiar with Mormon naming choices as a Midwesterner myself so I have less exposure aside from what I seek out online but occasionally I'll come across some that I really like. Once I heard about a Mormon baby named Melora Indigo a few years ago and I think it's really beautiful. Some of these really aren't so bad if the spellings were cleaned up a bit, but yeah as they are they're kind of cringe. One of my former high school classmates is Mormon and she named her son Nathan Maverick last year & that's relatively normal. It honestly makes me a little bit sad that the Mormon Community are given a bad rap for their naming choices, say what you will about religious ideologies and convictions but I think some "Mormon naming styles" are kinda cute & I'll go to bat for a few of them.
Please rate my "Names I would use" list if you have a spare moment, feel free to rate other lists too if you want but ik there's a lot, thank you :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/223226/138473

Someone posted on here (or could have been the Lounge) an article about mormon naming styles, written by a mormon before, and she stated a few reasons why names and spellings are so odd.
First of all, in certain mormon groups, women get married and have children very young, hence the trendy names.
Secondly, apparently a lot of girls start thinking of baby names when they’re still in school and if someone already “claimed” a name, say Iris, another girl would be frowned upon by the other girls if she also chose Iris; but Irys on the other hand, is perfectly fine.
