The following new names were assigned during endowments for the living in LDS temples. Where available, the date and temple location are indicated as well. I hope to expand this list until the patterns followed in the assignment of these names become more evident.
For the time being, if you happen to know anyone who attended one of these temples for the first time on the date indicated, and if that person's gender matches that of the new name, it is almost certain that this person received the new name indicated here.
Many thanks to those who have contributed to this effort. Feel free to submit any other name/temple/date combinations of which you are aware.
If you submitted names in the past few months and are now checking back, please submit them again. The e-mail address listed on this page was out of service for several months. My apologies.
Note: Because they don't spell the new name for you during the endowment, some of these spellings are best guesses.
