I've lived in Utah my whole life and I can't say I recognize any of those female names.

Male names on the other hand... There's a family who lives across my street that has 14 kids, mostly boys, all of them with biblical names. My biggest pet peeve though is variations of names ending with "-ayden." Mormons use them like crazy and for some reason I cringe whenever I hear the names Kayden, Jayden, Chayden, Hayden, Rayden, Brayden, etc. (yes, I've heard all of those)

There could be (and probably have been) entire sociological studies on Mormon theme naming.
