        Katana

        While all these other kids studied dance, she studied the blade.

          Back in high school I tried to ask her out to prom but she just teleported behind me and said "nothing personnel kid"

          I would advise not getting killed by her. Her sword traps the souls of its victims.

          She was actually the result of Kat and Ana from Warioware (little known fact but they’re proud FLDS members smh) performing a fusion dance prohibited by the mainline church

          Totally a 7th kids name if I have ever seen one. Usually the parents have given up at that stage and are just letting the kids raise the other kids too.

            I think it was scientifically concluded that 5-7 kids were the max before the parents neglected the kids. I can confirm this because in CK3, I wouldn’t even remember that I had 23 kids and most of them grow up to be insignificant or drunks or criminals

              I could see 5-7 being the limit. Most of the families around when I grew up were living on church food. My family did and it was me and 4 siblings with dual income from our parents. Even in the rural areas like ours where it was mostly pig and corn farms they were told to have more kids by the bishop.

                And here I was worried about not being able to pay attention to any more than 1 or 2, geez.

            Oh man, now there's a family story that's becoming more and more uncommon.

              It never happened to my family but my Mom's sister had 9 kids. Her 1st and 2nd turned around and had that many as well I think too. They all live out in the woods of Missouruh in houses they built themselves. Real frontier Mormons if you catch my drift. That part of the family was always squirrelly tho. Go back far enough and the family tree is more like a family bush.

        Sabine

        That's a pretty normal name in Germany fwiw. But the rest were made up by thinky-felix for sure.

          Several are real names, if very weird to choose for a kid and/or slightly misspelled. Like Seneca, Samara (which is both a name and a city/region of Russia), I've personally known a Lyra (second worst person I've ever known, and the brainwormed truscum former admin of a certain notable trans discord server), and Elsey is definitely a historically attested name (even if spelling it "Elsie" is more common AFAIK). "Roxi" seems to be a cliched stripper name turning into an actual name. Apparently "Rodi" is just an Italian name, derived from the island of Rhodes.

        How are they all like this though

        Is there some secret book of unconventional Mormon names or something

          I think most of them start with 1990s names like Ashley and Kaylee and mash-up the names over and over again until they're sufficiently Mormon. And then there's Seneca (presumably after the Roman) and Oaklee (presumably after the sunglasses)
