It'd be an honor to have that name. He was a great man, a true pioneer and

innovator, a real leader in a position when very very few people would have been able to succeed. As with every person but Christ who has lived, he was flawed.

As for the flawed part, every single name has someone who has had the name in the past and have done less than perfect things.

Just ask the other 1000's of Brighams in Utah.

boy Brigham seems excessive. Especially if the child is female.

girl Brigham in that case.

Your mom and I named you Brigham. We really dislike that name and you cried a bunch at first. So it seemed to fit.

There’s a Brigham who works at the gym. Long hair earrings and tats. Coolest guy

If I had another boy I'd want to name him George. Middle name possibly Absalom.

We almost named a son George. But that was 25 years ago during Costanza’s reign. So that sort of ruined the name for us.

Brigham isn’t as bad as some LDScentric names. I’d still choose to go by Brig.
