My parents gave be a name from the BOM. I'll tell you that I have embraced it, fully, and it's not even an issue.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

I have a brother who named one of his sons Brigham but after about six months decided the name was probably overly unique to Mormonism and went through the process of changing it.Comment

Strange I didn't notice this was a poll. I voted do nothing. This is the case even if I totally abandoned the church. Amaleki is a strong name.Originally posted by scottie View Post
Now if they gave me some hippie name like Apple, I'd go by something else.Comment

Nimrod. It wasn't cool until Green Day named an album after me. Then the ladies were throwing their clothes at me.

My son loves his name.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

The only Brigham I've ever met was a guy that worked down the hall from me a few years ago. I thought he must have been Mormon, but I was wrong. He was from the Midwest somewhere and his parents liked the name.Originally posted by scottie View PostGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

If my parents had named me TEA-N-CUM, I would definitely change my name. Otherwise, I'm good with it, though I think that Sariah might've lead to a knife fight in Gatlinburg."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
