While recent birth records in Utah reveal a somewhat standard mix of common and unusual names, the Clarks have culled some of the most bizarre on this Web site for prospective parents, Mormon and not, to peruse and use, should they choose. Some of the unusual names you’ll find here, either collected by the Clarks or contributed by others, include Fosi, Fotoh, Dixie, Demetrial, and L (yes, L) for boys; Najelly, Oscar, Pelenaise, Quenla, Ruger, and Tesla for girls. The theory behind the creation of these names is based on the small amount of surnames in the Mormon population. Creating unusual first names is a good way for parents to give their children a way to distinguish themselves from others with the same last name.
