I just finished doing some work for this guy and he was telling me his childrens names; Alinta, T.Y....I've forgotten what the others were, but they definitely weren't Johnny, Susie or Katie or anything like that. And I'm not criticizing it, I just thought it might be something that Mormons do.

I read somewhere it is because they have a small pool of last names and unusual first names are therefore needed to help avoid confusion.

I think you are being a little too general here... I come from a family of lots of Mormons - my siblings names are Stacie, Chelsi, Dallin...my in-laws, Jared, Jenny, Tabitha, Misty, Tyson, Spencer...
I think it really depends on the person, not their religion. Some people like to use ancestors names also... if I ever have a daughter, her middle name will be Gwen because that is one of my ancestors and I liked that name. I know lots of Mormons with weird names and some with completely normal, plain names.

i respect Irish names too! My favorites are Seamus, Cael and Ciaran for a boy and Aoife, Roisin and Catriona for a lady. Of your list, my favorites are Niall and Áine. i have self assurance Tadhg is suggested TIEG inspite of the actuality that, like the first portion of the note tiger. i respect that call too. :) i do not imagine that's any more beneficial strange than someone making use of a French or Italian call in the journey that they don't look that ethnicity. a recognition is basically what you're undemanding by ability of, and in case you adore that call, it is your present for your infant.

Not a 'Mormon' thing I don't think, (I am not a Mormon), but I think it is pretty common today to see just how off the wall you can be in naming your offspring!! just look around, it has gotten Weird out there! :)

It's not just the Mormoms. Surf on over to the Baby Names category and see what people are actually naming their kids. Poor kids !!!

Yes... they do have a unique collection of names... often, but not always from the book of mormon... like Nephi...very popular.

Yeah, they give them made-up names, that are vaguely biblical sounding. Like "Jonuel" or "Milandra" Stuff like that. Nephi and Yabeyel.

My children are named...
William...(now that's an odd one)
Michael...(another corker)
Laura...(should make her stand out in a crowd)
Steven....(well there you go...another unpronounceable name)
You're an idiot.
