Did y’all know Taysom was named after a construction company?

[dystopiamembrane]

In reality, Natalie Hill — the mom of the original Taysom — said there’s “not a great story” behind her son’s distinct name. She and her husband, Doug, wanted an uncommon name with two syllables for their son, because Hill is such a short and common last name.

Enter the now-defunct Taysom Construction company, a local, family-owned business in Pocatello deriving its name from the surname of its founders. The company was everywhere in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Natalie said.

“We just heard that a lot,” she said. “It was different and there wasn’t anybody else named that.”

So they went with it, naming their youngest child Taysom Shawn Hill.

That’s pretty bad ass, actually. Working class.

Think about it, when the celestialization happens and he calls one or more of his wives with him to start a planet, the god of that planet will have been named after a construction company from Pocatello, Idaho, US, Earth, circa 1990.

Just your typical low-effort Mormon bashing. Try to at least get creative with your trolling posts, maybe?

No Mormon bashing at all.

Dysto – most of your Mormon posts I chuckle. But this comment is poor form.

What is the issue that you have with this post, @belli1976?
