.....his name is Mitt, and he has a son named Tagg? Is this some sort of Mormon thing that I wouldn't understand?

  Very likely Mormon...a Utah thang. They don't give their children saints' names, or ancestors' names...they have tended, in their culture, to cook up names as they go along.
  
  My maternal grandmother was born in Logan, Utah in 1908. Her name was "Zilla"...as in, "Godzilla." What about the names Una Loy, LeRuth, Luella, Cleatus, Moroni? These were all apparently bestowed by good LDS parents.
  
  No, I don't think "Mitt" and "Tagg" are so far out of line. Aren't they nicknames, anyway?

    was the angel who allegedly delivered the magic plates or tablets to Joseph Smith. Of course, I don't know what Moroni's parents were thinking when they named their little angel.

      ...we should always refer to him as 'Willard Romney'.
      
      'Mitt' is too cute and likable. 'Willard' sounds stern and foreign.
