Sam and my wife was Miriam (my mother's middle name). She was not impressed, my wife that is. Every time I think my name, I think murderer for some reason.
And I wish it was Friday.

I'm amazed that y'all can remember the temple name. I was so overwhelmed by the whole initiatory/endowment thing that I think I can't remember much about the experience, least of all the name. As I recall, I wasn't impressed, so it must not have been a cool name.
Anubis, I call forth Leah in the morning of the first resurrection.
Wife, I'm here honey.
2nd girl in the temple that day, No I'm here honey 3rd girl in the temple that day, No I'm here honey Nth girl in the temple that day, No I'm here.....
I thought about asking God if he could just give me all the single women with the temple name of Leah as my spiritual wives. It would make it easier to remember there names......
I know it's mentioned as a male name in the BoM, but truly at least someone in the church has to have realized its English translation is 'young woman' and suggested they stop using it as a male name.
Rhonda, or Ronna, or something like that. I forgot which one it was right after they gave it to me, and I always felt bad at there part where you are suppose to whisper your name to yourself because I wasn't quite sure what my name was.
Another Aaron. I remember after a discussion with a mission comp on the significance of the new name and how we should study it's implication in the scriptures and how it pertains to us I riggled out of him that his name was Ishmael.
Rosa's my name. Never saw that anywhere in mormon scripture. Well, maybe she was one of the unnamed wives or sisters of the mighty Book of Mormon morons. Oh, I know. She was probably one of the mother's of a stripling warrior in the Army of Helaman - you know, one of those mother's who "know".
One of the things that really rubbed me the wrong way about the morg when I was growing up was the fact that women, named or unnamed, seem to be almost entirely absent from the BoM. Seriously, it's like when JS wrote...er, I mean 'translated' the Book of Mormon, he didn't even consider the possibility that women might have contributed to history in any significant way, except as subordinates to the men. What a sad, ignorant backwoods fool our dear prophet must have been.

Honey?! Dear?! Ah, I'm over here, darling! Warm, warm, warmer, warmer......yes, that's it......oh, christ almighty, you just bumped into Ghandi....okay, okay....follow my voice....that's it.....
My temple name is.....first time I've typed it......Rhoda. Is that not the stupidest name you've ever heard? Where did it even come from? On the day I went to the temple I flipped out when I read it and got so pissed when my husband couldn't/wouldn't tell me his secret name that they send me to the temple president's wife. She told me I needed to accept that I would, "always be second best." Now it's been over a decade, same great husband, who has left the church the last year....and now "Rhoda" is the safe word.
Don't feel bad about being second, at least your not like me I come forth. You guessed it I'm Lazarus and I am terrible at delivering crappy bible jokes.
My wife was given Rhoda as well. It seemed a bit weird to me that she was given the name of a Greek island, but what the hell do I know? It could have meant "goddess of oral" in the language of Adam for all I know.
I got stuck with Ephraim. Ephraim of the tribe of Ephraim, the Hebrew equivalent of store-brand vanilla ice cream.
