We had a middle name of Frankenberry for a girl about a month ago.
A few years back, there was a mom who literally named her twins Baby Girl and Baby Boy...because that was how she planned to refer to them for the rest of their lives. Thankfully, our social worker was able to convince her to give them 'proper' names...took a month to talk her into it. She finally changed the names to Dale, for the boy, after our unit manager and Bonny, for the girl, after one of our NNPs.
I used to work with a girl whose name was a very nasty name for vagina and it had a y on the end. With the way we used to shorten names she quickly became cathy so we wouldn't offend people.
other names I have heard
twins jillian and gillian (mum pronounced both with a soft sound so both sounded like jillian)

We had a little 25 weeker that actually had a wonderful nicu course. He was on room air by 26 weeks... never intubated... Amazing. Anyhow his parents named him "Gift". His middle name was very normal, something like Brian. We all called him by his middle name.
Twins named Deron-jellow & Gnaro-jellow if you look at it closley it spells orange & red jellow.
Have also had a little boy named Forever.
Any many many other "unique" ones.
