What's the weirdest baby name?

Specialties Ob/Gyn Nursing Q/A

Hi, I was wondering about some of those weird names that you've probably encountered in L&D and PP. I remember when I had my maternity rotation a couple of weeks ago, one of the nurses said she remembers a patient that named her child Placenta. I couldn't believe it that some child has to live his life named after disgusting afterbirth!

Please, use the PM system to discuss subjects that are off topic. Especially if you are going to include personal and identifying information. That's for your own protection.

Thanks.

I posted this on general forum before but maybe more appropriate here:

A woman named her daughter ANGLE, thus misspelling ANGEL and insisting she was right!!!

Hometown newspaper still has photos for kids' birthdays. Today, I saw a little girl named Paisley. I mean, it's not even an attractive fabric design...

Let's HOPE it's a girls name! Can you imagine some poor little boy with this name!?!

Parents need to be careful of initials, too: Pamela Marie Smith is not a good name.

I went to school with a girl named Crystal Bahl (pronounced Ball) and a guy named Stephen Steven Stevens.

Only in Texas: a friend's brother named his baby 'Levi Wade Stetson Taylor.' He wanted his son to have choices if he decided to become a bull rider.

A friend of my sister's was allowed to name her sibling. She chose Amber Sue. The surname? Starts with an S of course. The child has an unfortunate set of initials.

My friend's sister named her son Dallas Nike. Not the weirdest name I've heard.....more like really stupid. I'm going to name my daughter Sally Reebok.:rolleyes:

Nike is a greek god......

I defy someone to top this one:

Phantaysheia Shedollolorhonda

It was a name I had to put on a birth certificate (I was preparing them back then), mom was a teen. I asked her what it meant...She chose Phantaysheia because she really like the movie Fantasia and didn't know how to spell it. PHAT was a big phrase at the time, soooo... Shedollolorhonda is a conglomeration of Sherman, Dolly, Loretta and Rhonda. All people in her family.

Others that I have been flummoxed by:

twins named Arthur James and James Arthur. Dad's name was James Arthur. The worst part, their older sister was named Samej Arthurine. Get it? ARRRGGGHH!

Or the twins Norman and Namron

Or Heaven and Neveah

GHASTLY!

I don't care if it's Jesus's nickname, her intention was to name him after the shoe brand.

Her baby is also the result of a rendezvous with a carnie.

Pensive periods.......

my sister told me she saw a mom name her baby "placenta" after well......you know. she thought it sounded pretty. no joke!!
