It's the Mormon Name Generator!

I can always tell when kids in the Primary classes I sub for were born in Utah...

*cough*Keeleigh-Shae*cough*cough*

(No offense to people who are Utah Mormons, named their daughter Keeleigh-Shae, or otherwise are being poked gentle fun at intended.)

I'm Calbert Mick BonScott

Not exactly sure why dkw and I wouldn't end up with the same last name...Is that some Mormon thing I don't know about?

but, apparently, I'm related to Orson Scott Card, whose Mormon name is:

Mick BonScott Cardell

And if I have a sex change operation, but keep my same name, I'd translate to:
Confederate America Saunsceneyouray

Woo Hoo!!!

Without my middle name I get Lizalynn Willia, which is oddly close to what a fried of the family used to call me.

Using ElJay as my first name I get Ellayna Willia, which I actually kinda like.

beverly, some of these sound surprisingly real. For instance, "Antrim" is a county in Ireland, you know how big "place" names are. I know a little girl named "Heaven". "Trinity" is kinda weird, but I can just see some clueless, not-so-bright mother being taught that there is no Trinity and thinking "gee... that's a pretty word..."

I can trump that - I know a little girl named Neveah (neh-VAY-ah). Her mom told me proudly, "It's heaven spelled backwards."

My youngest niece, about a week shy of her first birthday, is named Nevaeh. Her mom also likes to point out it's heaven spelled backwards. That comes in handy because I can never seem to remember how her name is spelled.

Edit: Only my niece's name actually is heaven spelled backwards. Just saw that.

I kind of like mine, just first and last 'Chancitee Dennette' if I add the second part of my first name it comes out as 'Danagail Dennette.' If I try it as male it comes out 'DeLance Benner'.

The Chancitee reminds me of a girl in my HS class named Shaunnacy, I always thought it was a pretty name too.

I wasn't aware Mormons were famous for giving their children weird names. All the Mormons I've known have had pretty standard American names.

Anyway, I got really bored, and plugged in a bunch of Orson Scott Card characters. Here's what came out:

Alvin Miller = Alexavier Arville
Alvin Maker = Alexavier Draker
Margaret Larner = Parkarette LaFarne
Verily Cooper = Verneil Kaiden Chipper
William Blake = Arville Blaze
Napoleon Bonaparte = Noldon Bartell
Honoré de Balzac = Helamans Warrior Azer Baloo

Ender Wiggin = Elner Knight Train
Peter Wiggin = Clester Knight Train
Valentine Wiggin = MeleKatherine Virgilene

Jason Worthing = Jamieson Tithing
Abner Doon = Amber Boyson*

Jamie Teague = Jamieson Messiah Angel
Deaver Teague = Alexavier Messiah Angel
Royal Aal = DeLoyal Aceal

*For a man? Crazy.

Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
 
Okay, so I got even more bored. Here are some that have nothing to do with OSC.

Isaac Asimov = Arsace Antrim Zeezrom
David Bowie = DavidO Boise
Mark Knopfler = Markay Kaiden Chipper
Justin Hayward = Justian Waynard
Jessica Alba = Jessmina Adelina
Linda Cardellini = DaLinda LaDale Bardella
Patrick Stewart = Karrick Deward
Theodore Roosevelt = Friends Forsaken Revvel
Brigham Young = Bridger Caldoun
Jesus Christ = Jessik Carrington
Alton Brown = Belton Bowden
Michelangelo Buonarotti = Messiah Angel Mick BonScott
Lucrezia Borgia = Busbyberkly Jukebox-Jezabel Barina
Jules Verne = Cleese DeLaVerne
Marcus Aurelius = Archilus Archilus
Rudyard Kipling = Byard Stripling
Lisa Loeb = LaTisha Corneliabell

My favorite of all of them so far was when I put in Utada Hikaru's name, albeit in Western order (first name Hikaru, last name Utada).

Hikaru Utada = Hereditary Christmas Holiday

This is so stupid. Why is it also so fun?
