My brother's Facebook post on popular Utah names

[beefytee]

I am also not a big fan of the name themes. Like the first letter all being the same or I know a family that has 5 kids and the names start in order from oldest to youngest with A,B,C,D,E.

A guy I work with new triplets growing up all with A names and they called them AAA. He thought that was cool and wanted a theme with his kids, so all of his kids are named after cities:

Page (girl), Alexandria(girl), Denver(girl), Garrett (boy) (a stretch but there is a Garrett, Indiana or something like that). He refers to his kids as the "City Kids" kind of odd to me, but whatever floats your boat.

We specifically avoided using the same letter on our third child to avoid this, as our 1st 2 start with the same letter.

I know a family that named their kids after ducks:
Teal (I think there is a duck called cinnamon teal or something)
Drake
Mandarin

She refers to them as her ducks.

One of my daughters is on that list. The key is to go back to 2004 and see whether her name was on the list.

I can't be held responsible for Utah folk being trendy about 5 years too late.

The guidance counselor at my daughter's school is named "Citronella."

Not fooling.

I teach Nursery as well and the kids in our class are as follows:

Matt, Koda, Brooklyn, Alyssa, Paige, Olivia, Zachary, Isaac, Gage, Mason.

Nothing to crazy on that list, except maybe Koda.

My wife is the youngest of 14, she has a huge family, a few of the grandkids names:

Makayla, Jackson (no X), Mckenna, Emily, Samantha, Andrew, Barrett, Madison, Jaden, Cassidy, Megan.

I believe you are in my friend's ward in Lehi, Cougjunkie. Is Koda short for "DaKoda"?

My wife's name is Chelsea as well. She has experienced the same for most of her life. I don't get it.



This is her number one pet-peave. She hates the Utah version of her name.

I knew a girl in high school who's name was Chelsea, but she pronounced it "Chel-suh." I didn't know that is was an aberration for a long time.

My lab's name is Koda. My daughter named him that because he looks like the little bear named Koda from the movie "Brother Bear." This is the first time I've heard of a kid with that name. My hope and dream is that Koda can be the new Sadie -- popular dog turned kids' name.

my wife had a blond blue-eyed mission companion named Latesha from Utah ...lol

What was her last name? I might know her. Did it start with an 'E?'

It's funny how CUF changes your perspective on CB:

[Commando]

Pronounced Chelt-see

ha ha. I have a niece named "Kelsey" and it bugs the crap out of me when my mom pronounces it "Kelt-sey." Like it really bugs as in it makes me want to punch my own mother.

We've got SCA so far; we're looking for a B name or maybe an M. If we thought we were going to have 2 more, we might go for NK.

Why not an R? That would be really cool.

[SoCalCoug]

You're right. Maybe Reginald or Ruppert.

I paid a bit more attention during the primary yesterday. There's a Cashton and a Rushton in the primary. Cashton is almost certainly made up. Rushton can go either way- made up or a last name. A little girl named Mendee was sitting in front of me. Has Seven become a real possibility?

There are about 20 girls named Riley/Rylee in my ward. Madison was soooooo 2000. Riley was where it was at in 2004 and 2005. A strong second is Brynlee/Brinley, there are only about 10 of them. I wish one of the Brynlee/Brinlee/Brinlee parents would have gone on the reservation and substituted the n for an m. It would have been awesome to have a little girl named Brimley in the primary. Hilarity every other week when her name is called.

There's a little girl in our ward named Seven. As I've yet to verify the size of her parents' lot, the proximity to the neighbors' house, and the location of their garage, I can't state whether Seven lives in a stucco turd.
