What's the worst Book of Mormon or Bible name you've ever heard used to actually name a child?

Answer 1

Mahonri Moriancumer. Not kidding!!!! He really did have a brother named Jared. They called him Henry for short.. don't know how they got that, but ok. That is probably the worst one I've heard. But then, they have a girl named Liahona, and Muriah too, so go figure!!! They are a little batty.

Answer 2

Well, I knew of a guy whose middle name was Nephi but actually it was a good combination with his first name. And Nephi is not an ugly name, it is just that as time passes by, other things passes by, like most of the names in the Bible are not used today but they used to be used before, in those times. Maybe in a thousand years common names like Jessica, FRANK, Melanie, Nicholas, Kim (that name is beautiful!) etc.. would be sooo weird, no-no's and old - fashioned to name kids that no-one would use them anymore. Same happens with all.

Answer 3

One of my mission companions said she wanted to name her first son, "Mahonri." While this name technically isn't IN the Book of Mormon, he was a great man of faith in the Book of Ether (near the end), and is refered to as "the brother of Jared... but with a name like Mahonri, there's small wonder...

One of the Elders I served with on my mission was Neum S---... According to Nephi (1 Nephi 19:10), the original Neum prophesied that the promied Messiah would be crucified.

Answer 4

i does not try this to a newborn! facebook? c'mon! i admire Nevaeh, yet whilst it first got here out. Now that is slightly cheesy, and overused. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, Apple, Satchel Faerie, Myanna and Ptolemy are lots worse. i'd particularly be noted as Nevaeh, alongside with 500 individuals, than Superman or something!! My least everyday call is Fairy Princess. To be honest, Pixie is okay. i will think of of worse. Fairy Princess is worse!!! think of a 80 year old grandmother, via the call Princess! Katie fee's daughter fits it now. Curly, Blonde hair, attractive. yet whilst she gets older, Princess ought to not be a perfect call!!!!! MyAnna, Ew!

Answer 5

There are LOTS of awful names from the Bible ...

My sons are named Enoch Samuel and the baby is Asher Andy (the Andy part is to honor my brother). Enoch was the first man ascended to Heaven (Genesis 5), Samuel "asked of God" was Hannah's son after years of praying (I had 3 daughters before this little guy, and one of them is named Hannah); Asher is one of the 12 tribes of Israel.

I have to agree that Jezebel, and all it infers is simply a horrible name for an innocent child!

Ishtar is another, and let's not forget about Belial.

Answer 6

Jezebel and Phineas tie for worst..

Julia roberts named her son Phineas..

A little girl in my daughter 2nd grade class was named Jezebel.. Luckily she was called Jezzy..

My ex-husband gets an award for naming his daughter (with his current wife) the worst combination biblical name Elizabeth Zippora... Hint look at the initials and add a last name..

That would have to be Muffin, from the book of Bran. But Banana sandwich would be a close second

Teancum

Answer 10

I think it started with a Z, but I can't remember. Nephi and Alma are bad also.
