From a list we keep at work:
Kilokilo Champagne (her older sister's name was Unique Lingerie)

This really isn't funny, but there's another "strange baby name" thread on here.

One nurse told about a black couple who wanted to name their son Aryan Nation. She explained what the Aryan Nation was, since they obviously didn't know, but they insisted because they had heard this on television and liked the way it sounded.



I recently heard about a little boy named Ozzy. Not John Michael, which is Mr. Osbourne's legal name, but OZZY.

We have a baby whose first name TOTALLY rhymes with her last name (of course I can't say it on here) but it's nearly as silly sounding as Bobby Knobby LOL...but its also sorta fun to say. I think/hope that she is just listed under her mothers last name since she and FOB are involved w/other kids but not married...so baby might legally have dad's last name. If not, at least maybe she'll only sound silly til she gets married hahaha

[bijou214]

triplets: angeluis, angelezell, angeleena nevaeh (dad's name was angel)

triplets: mikah (muh-kye), mikal (michael), and markell

twins: crystal and cristal (like the alcohol)

shamij - pronounced like "semaj" but mom wanted a different spelling... defeating the purpose of naming the kid after dad (james).

ny'ji - mom spent an hour deciding where to put the apostrophe... and whether or not it should have an accent mark somewhere.

and a co-worker swears he went past the well baby nursery and saw a kid named swedish fish.

I've been looking through here to see if one of my girls' nurses might have listed their names! I have twins named Furie Sioux and Fenix Eden. People either LOVE those names, or they smile in a very fake way and say "Oh, those are nice."

My girls were born 9 weeks early, and spent 5 weeks in NICU. My husband and I didn't know the sex of one of the babies, so we didn't have any names picked out at all. It took me all four days I was in the hospital to come up with names, and they were threatening to not discharge me until I named the babies.

I like to joke that I was on morphine when I named them (c-sec.), but those names were on my list anyway. We had seen on t.v. that a NICU somewhere gave their babies strong, nythological nicknames, to help them grow into strong, healthy babies. Fenix is the Middle English spelling of "Phoenix", and I think most people know the story behind it. Furie is also a strong mythological character. Actually, it was a set of sisters that went after murderers and criminals. It is where the word "fury" comes from. Eden is a family name (Edens), and Sue is, too, but we wanted to spell it differently.

Anyway, that is the story of my girls' funny names . I aspire to be a NICU nurse myself someday, and I'm sure I'll have some names to add to this list.

Sounds more like a funeral home or cemetery to me.
Poor kid.

I'll add mine- sorry if there's repeats:

Tyquavis

Crew

Liberty Gem

For awhile we had the "Stripper Pod"- Diamond, Diamond Asia, and Paris

And we had a story going around the first NICU I worked in about a Hispanic mom who decided to name her baby Meconium-apparently she heard the word and thought it sounded pretty and no one could talk her out of it. Could be one of those "nursing legends"

[elizabells]

We just got a "Tiger". With a last name that also starts with T and rhymes with tiger.
