The name "Flake" is a prominent
pioneer name in the 19th century
inter-mountain west i.e. Arizona].

Oft times the name is perpetuated
from generation to generation on
the maternal side by using it as
a middle name.

Maybe "L." wasn't such a bad name,
but more likely he was proud of his
heritage, being from the Flake family.

I once read somewhere that W(illard) Mitt Romney had a couple of uncles named Att and Ott.
I live in a town with a lot of Mormons, many of them migrants from Utah, and a Mormon temple. My children have gone to school with a lot of Mormon kids; I'm sure that if many of them had strange names, I would have heard about them.

Yep, it's true alright. I have a sister named LaPriel, though it's pronounced luh PREEL. My brother is a painter an signs his work with 1st initial full middle and last name. Though wikipedia doesn't say, I suspect L. Ron Hubbard was a Mormon. Lots of Mormony names in his line. I have known males named LaDon, Merle, Kenyan, LaVoine, Lemoine, etc... Can't wait to let my brother know it's a Mormony way to sign his name. Our line goes back to the beginning (Joseph Smith Jr). I was actually raised in Orem, which is a cross between 'Leave it to Beaver' and 'The Twilight Zone'.
