What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

Nurses Humor Nursing Q/A

As many of you know by now, Kim Kardashian had her baby. As if you couldn't miss all the annoying coverage over every single detail. They named that poor kid North West. What are some of the funniest/weirdest/most unusual baby names you have seen? Could be a patient or someone you know in your personal life. And if you are someone with one of those odd names did you just learn to live with it or would you change it.

A couple I have heard...

Slip Knott

Indiana Jones (a girl)

Abcde it took me a minute at first I want to start signing the ABCs not sound out (Abcde).

Best one for me was lady parts. I was afraid to pronounce it. So I had to ask her how she pronounced her name. Va Gina (with a short I). Whew so glad I didn't call her lady parts. What was her mother thinking!

Funniest one I remember was A'cura Ontegra. We all decided it was site of conception....:yes:

A set of twins the girl Kandy and the boy Cane.

Before nursing I worked at a tattoo shop, I had a guy come in for a tattoo who's name was Rainbow, he was this total jock bro type, he hated his name, he said he had a sister named Cannabis.

Along Those same lines my niece 's name is Irie

One time I overheard parents talking to their son and I could've sworn I heard the mom refer to her son as "Serpentine". I had to stop & see if I heard correctly. Yup, it seemed like they had named their son Serpentine.

Sounds like the brand and model name of a pricey wristwatch to me!

In the news recently.

Two actors who portrayed Santa Claus and an elf at a shopping mall in Orange County have been fired after turning away a 7-year-old autistic girl and her service dog, officials said.

Abcde (pronounced Ab-Suh-Dee) Santos waited in line with her family and the dog, named Pup-Cake, for more than 30 minutes at the Shops at Mission Viejo before the incident occurred Sunday, according to Julie Marie Miller, a spokeswoman for the Santoses.

Read that story, and found out that name really wasn't urban legend. Parents who choose names like that (seriously, you can't get a bit more creative than the first 5 letters of the alphabet?) make me shake my head.

I've met a La-a, Malese (pronounced like malaise, wonderful.), Oak, Princess, and my all time favorite: Felony.

I actually saw a contestant on Family Feud whose name was Malaise, spelled just like that. She was a beautiful young woman, and her parents were on there with her. I kept looking at the mother thinking, "WHAT on EARTH ever possessed you?"

I have collected names for YEARS.....since I was 18 and worked in the group actuarial filing dept at a big name insurance company.I look at phone books, obituaries, mastheads of magazines; any place a list of names is written I am compelled to check them out. Some think it is a very weird hobby. I have a very large rubbermaid box under my bed that is crammed full of pages and pages (and pages!) of lists of names. I could totally hijack this thread for the next 5 years! Fortunately for you all I do not have the time right now to go dig it out; I would get lost in it if I did! But next week.......
