Teton River Temple. OK.
"The Teton River… drains through the Teton Valley along the west side of the Teton Range along the Idaho-Wyoming border at the eastern end of the Snake River Plain. Its location along the western flank of the Tetons provides the river with more rainfall than many other rivers of the region."

So the river was likely named due to its proximity to the Teton Range. Is the church aware of the etymology of Teton?
"In terms of etymology for the mountain's naming, the most common explanation is that 'Grand Teton' means 'large teat' or 'large nipple' in French (téton), named by either French-Canadian or Iroquois members of an expedition led by Donald McKenzie of the North West Company."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Teton"However, French explorers saw something different in the mountains when they stumbled upon the range while trudging across the frozen tundra of Western Wyoming. Tired and famished, possibly daydreaming of the comforts of home, they quickly came to name the iconic mountains 'Les Trois Tetons', or 'The Three Breasts'. To top it off, they literally named the Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range and the third tallest in Wyoming, 'the big tit'. Les Trois Tétons somehow stuck."
