Sadly, I panicked and found myself frantically counting the days... Phew! That was close. Nothing like a false Friday to get the heart pumping.

Thanks tombs1!

It's Friday in japan - a family friend's temple name is Abigail. She told this to my wife and I when she came to visit us one day.

Now I have the names of two women to collect when I die - I need only one more to be saved in the upper level of the CK.

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 think the old guy ran out of breath after Sam and couldn't get "uel" out so he just left it Sam.

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.

I actually left the church before participating in this particular ritual, so I don't have a 'temple name'. I am rather proud of that fact.

Alma for me
Leah for mrs. Anubis


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.

I did a few Moby Dick jokes with him afterwards.

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".

Stupid cult.

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.

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.

She hates it too. Calls herself Rockin' Rhoda on the rare occasions that she posts here.

She thought how stupid that would sound to have her then-husband call her forth from the grave - "Rhoooda! Rhooooooda!"

Stupid cult!

I think it comes from the name of one of Brigham Young's (or one of his councillor's) wives.

BTW, Heber is mine.

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.
