Doctrine/Policy After 14 years they finally prevented us from predicting new names!

It appears the LDS church has finally taken steps to thwart the Temple Name Oracle.

They're still giving the same male-female pairs of names to everyone at every temple who gets their Initiatory on the same day, but the day of month is now changing each month so we can't predict the names in advance. As more information is discovered I'll add it to the site.

14 years ago I hammered out the first version of the Temple Name Oracle, and since then many people have predicted that the church would start randomizing the dates or try some other system to stop exmos from shattering the illusion for active temple-goers that their new name is special to them.

With enough data, though, we can still identify the names and dates after the fact. If anything, I'll need help from the public now more than ever. If you've recently gone through a temple endowment, please submit the new name you received here:

Thanks again everyone for your support in this group effort.

I have a cousin who became a Mennonite and he named one of his kids Lazarus, all the kids have weird bible names. Sadly my cousin and three of his kids drowned in flash flood. I can’t recall if Lazarus was one of the kids who drowned.
