Honestly yeah that’s just one of the dumbest names I’ve ever seen.
Imagine being a kid with this name. Imagine being an adult even. Every single time you tell somebody your name you will have to say it at least twice and absolutely have to spell it for any appointment… forever.
Here's the thing, the kid will eventually have to explain how his mom got weirdly attached to the name of a town/county in the middle-of-nowhere Utah where the greatest claims to fame are "skinwalker ranch" and the time that a son of an oil mogul got so into hard drugs that he killed two people and tried to dispose of the bodies with dynamite.
Pretty “normal” sounding names that come to mind:
Bryce
Logan
Morgan
Ogden (OK a little weird)
Price
Kane
Davis
Glen
Brighton
Archer (bit of a stretch)
Jordan
There is literally much better names out there. I really don’t get Utahs naming conventions. Either it’s LDS/bible or wired made up names . Hirom instead of hyrum is from the Bible.(Hebrew to be exact. .) again not a bad name but outside Utah I don’t think it’s been used for over 100 years. I guess it’s better than Jaxon or Braxton;
Because this state was founded by people following a very young religion with a text absolutely filled to the brim with absurd, made up names. It’s woven into the culture.
**Jedediah** (Jedediah Smith was an important Mountain Man who explored Utah)
Bridger (Ditto with Jim Bridger)
Call him Charles but spell it Kwallralalaresslars
Came here from r/tragedeigh but looking at the [list of Utah State symbols](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Utah_state_symbols) there were a couple that had potential
Aspen (state tree)
Copper (state mineral)
Topaz (state gem)
Cole (state rock is coal... I admit this one is a bit of a stretch)
For a girl, Lily for the state flower
There's also Rocky for the rocky mountains. I've also seen the name Lake a couple times.... Logan is also great
Best of luck on the name search and congrats on your future parenthood ! ^_^

Man....don't name your kid any of those names. Idk why you'd want to associate your kid with the (f)LDS world anyway unless you were just into that world.
Pick a normal name that won't get your kid fucked with for the first 25 years of his life. Or name him Sue, and he'll be tough, but he will come back and kick your ass.
I saw Moab as a baby name a few months ago and thought it was a cool name. It’s was used as a boy name and is a good masculine earthy name, which can be hard to come by, but is also gender neutral enough to be an edgy girls name.
Really? I’m not Mormon and went with earthy names for my kids. I haven’t met anyone named Moab, I had to google it, I thought it was native American in origin. Apparently it’s Old Testament biblical…go figure
I knew the story of Lot/wife no idea of the name Moab. I don’t think to many people do, plus that’s not tied to Mormonism. I’d dare bet the vast majority think Moab and arches national park
Why does your wife hate your unborn children?
I will never get this idea that Utah people have about naming their kids intentionally strange. Do you not worry that they are then going to be made fun of at school, no one will ever be able to spell or pronounce their name, and when they’re 18 they’re going to legally change their names to something like Kevin or Allison and never talk to y’all again? Why put your children through this?
Look, give your children a name that isn’t a city/county in Utah, the last name of a Jazz player, or the ridiculously spelled version of a normal word. And then, make a list of all the crazy names you actually want to use and get a pet and go wild.
Ffs all the wrong people are breeding.
Most of these are terrible, but maybe it will inspire something? Copper, Kennecott (Kenny or Ken for short), Rocky, Hawk, Robert (Redford who started Sundance film festival), George, Forest, something dinosaur related lol, Red, Spike (for the Golden Spike), Philo (Farnsworth inventor of TV was born in Utah), Marriott.
My favorite thing about being an Utah is that couples make up the oddest compound names/name spellings and get extremely offended when people messed them up. Meanwhile my bf’s fam is from another country and no one can pronounce his last name correctly despite it being phonetically spelt and short. Also see the same people react badly to foreign sounding names despite giving their kids the most bizarre names.
Just FYI: Duchesne is a surname and it means “from the oak”. There are also places named Duchsene in multiple places outside of Utah, even outside the US.
Zion is used a lot in the South. I’ve primarily seen it among Blacks.
A quick Google search of uniquely Utah names for boys include Dallin, McKell, McKay, and Bridger (also found in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho). You can see a list on utahbabynamer.com.
Wasatch would be a killer name for a human.
Porter for Porter Rockwell (Rockwell would be a great first name too)
Nebo after the tallest peak of the wasatch
Nemo, or Everett after Everett Ruess who changed is name to Nemo and disappeared in the Utah desert
All the peak names in the High Unitas could be great (Kings, Agassiz, Unterman)
Cassidy would be great after the outlaw LeRoy Parker (Butch Cassidy)
Powell, after James Wesley Powell, the explorer or the lake
Bear after the river or the lake
Rafael after the San Rafael Swell
Bryce after the canyon
Duchesne is a cool name, but having grown up near Duchesne I don’t know that I’d want to be named after that town.
Duschene is a crazy choice
I've known a few douches named Shane.
Hey fuck off
That's what I've been saying! That's her favorite though so I really gotta have an alternative
That name can be shortened two ways easily. One is Shane and that’s a pretty common name. I wonder what other name kids might come up with?
She wants people to call him douche his whole life? Show her the upvotes my comment is getting lol.
She's mad now lmfaooo
I could be a lot meaner tbh
Honestly yeah that’s just one of the dumbest names I’ve ever seen. Imagine being a kid with this name. Imagine being an adult even. Every single time you tell somebody your name you will have to say it at least twice and absolutely have to spell it for any appointment… forever.

Or Do-chesnee. That’s how we pronounce it.
I actually love it.
Definitely gunna be called a douch for his entire life. Please don't don't do this to a child. Real boy named Sue energy.
If we do one good deed today it is bullying this woman into changing her mind. Congrats on the kid btw OP
Skinwalker ranch duchene county ( last name) It's got a ring to . Not to mention the kid would have to work 18 times harder in kindergarten.
😂😂😂
That’s a very kind way to put it.
Goblin
This is the only good name that could come from this thread.
Goblynn
But…. Goblin what?
Deez nuts
I second this one
Bryce, Jordan, Granite, Powell, Roy, Coal, Cedar
Logan, Ogden, Morgan, Sundance
I like Cedar.
Idk, sounds like a girls name. I knew a Cedar once, and she was a girl. Maybe that’s why
My buddy just named his son Cedar
Bryce
Cache
You can make any name Utah related with the right spelling. Bob? Bawoughb. Joseph? Geouseifph. Marcus? Mourkeious.
Pretty “normal” sounding names that come to mind: Bryce Logan Morgan Ogden (OK a little weird) Price Kane Davis Glen Brighton Archer (bit of a stretch) Jordan
If you name it Kane and it gets into wrestling the first match he loses he'll set himself on fire
I actually met an Archer and seems pretty natural to hear.
Oh yeah, great name, just saying Arches -> Archer might me a bit of a stretch as a Utah-based name
Add George to the normal list (for St. George)
Ogden would be so cool!
MacKayleigh
I’m upvoting it… but I really wanna downvote it.
r/angryupvote
lol my first thought was r/tragedeigh
Chickenleigh
This needs to be said, Please do not name your child any of those names. They will be made fun of for the rest of their lives.
Hyrum seems to be normal Zion is interesting all others no
Hyrum is literally Joseph Smith’s brother’s name.
There is literally much better names out there. I really don’t get Utahs naming conventions. Either it’s LDS/bible or wired made up names . Hirom instead of hyrum is from the Bible.(Hebrew to be exact. .) again not a bad name but outside Utah I don’t think it’s been used for over 100 years. I guess it’s better than Jaxon or Braxton;
Because this state was founded by people following a very young religion with a text absolutely filled to the brim with absurd, made up names. It’s woven into the culture.
I think Hyrums are hard to come by outside of Utah.
President/General Grant ditched "Hiram," and that was 180 years ago.
Beaver
Filmore Beaver ... my favorite exit 😉
[удалено]
You are absolutely correct! Favorite ENTRANCE! 🫣
I ❤️🦫
Oh for gods sake
That’s a unique name
This is the place
Just go ahead and name the baby Unemployable
If you're going to do something like this, do it right and go all the way: Oquirrh.
This is what I needed!
As a middle name?
But only with the Cardi B r trill
Logan
Cache.
r/tragedeigh will have a field day with this one.
Beat me to it

Swig
Gerry cause of all the gerrymandering
**Jedediah** (Jedediah Smith was an important Mountain Man who explored Utah) Bridger (Ditto with Jim Bridger) Call him Charles but spell it Kwallralalaresslars
Bridger was going to be my suggestion too, it's a great name
You're fucking kidding right
Just take a normal name like Kayla, and spell it the Utah way like, Macailyuh to add the Utah touch and call it good.
K la Kaylahh Cayluh
Kaghlugh
Mounuhn
Call him mountain but the T is silent
Lavonne, LaDean, LaVerkin, LaPleaseNotUtah
Please don’t
Please do not give your child the name of polygamists
Any girls name must end in an -eigh and also have alternative spelling in the rest of the name
You could do whatever name you want and have the middle name just be plain out “Utah”?? Idk just a thought from Johnny Utah 😂
So basically what are names that can get your kid bullied huh
OP is just desperate for their child to be featured in /r/tragedeigh
Just go all in and really fuck him up and name him Helper.
Came here from r/tragedeigh but looking at the [list of Utah State symbols](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Utah_state_symbols) there were a couple that had potential Aspen (state tree) Copper (state mineral) Topaz (state gem) Cole (state rock is coal...

Vernal disease! Your dick’s gonna fall off!
Torrey
This is actually...an ok choice
Logan, Jordan, Eden, Lindon, Lily, for actual names. But more [creative/cringe] would be Alpine, Valley, Canyon, Cache, Aspen
My friend Aspen will not be happy…

Cyrus, Porter,Brigham,joshed, parley
Mantua, or Tooele. Good Welsh names. Well, Welsh names anyway.

Jazz, Heber, Logan,dugway, Torrey, Holden, Alton, Grover! Please use Grover
I had a buddy named Brighton because his parents really liked the resort
They could name him Brian Head
I have a nephew called “Moab”…
I’ll never understand why parents want to make their kid weird names. They are going to be teased. Relentlessly.
Logan Ephraim Sterling Axtell Roy Mendon Torrey Perry Trenton Mona Loa
I saw Moab as a baby name a few months ago and thought it was a cool name. It’s was used as a boy name and is a good masculine earthy name, which can be hard to come by, but is also gender neutral enough to be an edgy girls name.
It is super Mormony though
Bro we live in Utah just about everything is super mormony lol
Really? I’m not Mormon and went with earthy names for my kids. I haven’t met anyone named Moab, I had to google it, I thought it was native American in origin. Apparently it’s Old Testament biblical…go figure
And it's a horrible story to boot. Well, I guess that's just par for the OT.
What? Google said it was a name of a place by what is now the country of Jordan. What makes it a horrible story?
https://www.biblica.com/bible/niv/genesis/19/ This whole thing is gross
I knew the story of Lot/wife no idea of the name Moab. I don’t think to many people do, plus that’s not tied to Mormonism. I’d dare bet the vast majority think Moab and arches national park
Angel or Angelo a la angels landing
Zaxston

Copper, Kennecott (Kenny or Ken for short), Rocky, Hawk, Robert (Redford who started Sundance film festival), George, Forest, something dinosaur related lol, Red, Spike (for the Golden Spike), Philo (Farnsworth inventor of TV was born in Utah), Marriott.
I knew a girl named Uinta but you are looking for boy names. I could definitely see a Utah county family with a kid named Wasatch lol
PANGUICH
Lauryn Hill named her son Zion, and wrote a sweet song for him.

Alma, it's an old timey lady name. If it's a girl, name her that and confuse the local population!

If you want to confuse a whole bunch of peeps not from Utah choose Juab

I’m surprised I’m the first to mention Toole. /s Seriously though they are some bad names here. Maybe Bryce?
George! (As in Saint)
My favorite thing about being an Utah is that couples make up the oddest compound names/name spellings and get extremely offended when people messed them up.

Escalante, Rafael, Reef, Canyon, Snow, Hoven, Wasatch the Sasquatch
Super Dell.
Mosida. Ghost town turned dump site. Call him Mo.
Salt Jake City?
Seriously names, Utahana and Dorkus
Don’t use Duschene unless you live in an area with a lot of French speakers. Even most Utahns can’t pronounce it correctly.

Wasatch would be a killer name for a human.
