UT-01: Utah North
UT-02: Utah South Plus Salt Lake
UT-03: Utah Southeast
UT-04: Wasatch Front (really only southern Salt Lake County and northern Utah County)

Utah kind of sucks for that kind of district naming.

Iowa's kind of similar to Utah:

District 1 - Northeast Iowa
District 2 - Southeast Iowa
District 3 - Central/Southwest Iowa (includes Des Moines)
District 4 - North Central/Northwest Iowa

Honestly, if the Utah GOP just let the Dems have Salt Lake County as a district, it would make it a lot easier.

Why not name it after the sort of "anchor cities"?

So:

UT-01: Ogden
UT-02: Salt Lake
UT-03: Provo
UT-04 is a bit trickier since it mainly mashes up suburbia, but a possible name would be Jordan

All of those sound pretty good, though UT-02's is a little misleading since the current representative didn't get into office on the strength of Salt Lake's votes, despite it being the "anchor city". He basically ran up the rural vote and ignored Salt Lake.
