Zoram, Nephi, and his brothers are wed, yet none of the women are introduced by name. They are clumsily identified (1 Nephi 16:7) as Ishmael’s daughters:

“And it came to pass that I, Nephi, took one of the daughters of Ishmael to wife; and also, my brethren took of the daughters of Ishmael to wife; and also Zoram took the eldest daughter of Ishmael to wife.”

Where’s the respect? Especially for Nephi’s wife. Here is a list of a few of the things she did: She was one of the five daughters of Ishmael (not the oldest); She followed her family into the wilderness, leaving behind all her worldly possessions in Jerusalem (1 Nephi 7:5); She married Nephi (1 Nephi 16:7); She witnessed the writing on the Liahona (1 Nephi 16:27); She murmured against Lehi and Nephi—alongside her sisters—after her father died, wanting to return to Jerusalem (1 Nephi 16:35–36); Unlike the two sisters married to Laman and Lemuel, she repented of her murmuring and never rebelled again (1 Nephi 16:39); She bore children in the wilderness (1 Nephi 17:1–2); She lived on raw meat (1 Nephi 17:1–2); Despite her hardships, she gave “plenty of suck” to her children (1 Nephi 17:1–2); She suffered all things “save death” (1 Nephi 17:20); She became strong, like unto a man, and bore her journeyings without murmuring (1 Nephi 17:1–2); She made the voyage to the promised land and helped establish a new life there (1 Nephi 18); On the voyage, Nephi’s brothers rebelled and bound him; the Liahona ceased to work and they were tossed at sea. Her tears and prayers—along with those of her children—could not soften their hearts; only “the power of God, which threatened them with destruction,” could do so (1 Nephi 18:19–20); Later, when the righteous Nephites separated from the Lamanites, she and her children went with them (2 Nephi 5:6). 

With all these accomplishments, couldn’t she at least have been honored with a name?
