SALT LAKE CITY — In a state where "Jackson" is spelled "Jaxon" and there are five different versions of the name Emily, it's not unusual to hear original first names.

A new YouTube video pokes fun at Utah culture when some young LDS mothers introduce the unique names of their baby boys.

Creedance, Coil, Cress and Kendrick are not Harry Potter spells, but, instead, the names of Utah's youngest boys.

This isn't the first time Mormon Girls Say, the YouTube users who created the video, have made fun of the green Jell-O state. In their video "Utah Names," they introduce themselves with the wackiest made-up, yet authentic, girls names they could think of, including Aunistee, Tazmin, Bryntle and McCalen.

If you're looking for an original baby name, you've got a lot of competition.
