What's the weirdest baby name?

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!

Well here are some names I've seen working in ER. A women whose last name was Hoare. She was married and there's a place on our form where they put their maiden name. So I checked thinking to myself I'd have kept my maiden name. Maiden name was Roten. All could say was at least she had enough sense not to hyphenate. Which brings me to the next one who ddn't have that sense. Moore-Pussey. some other names Vermon Supreme, Screeming Hawk and a little girl named Nho Nguyen pronounced no win

We had a baby that the parents named Austin but they spelled it "Awestyn" and then my favorite recent one was a family I actually really liked and they named their sone Owen and spelled it the keltic version or something and it was "Eoghan" I was like "really!!??"

We have a pt. who has 10 children. She is a bit of an ornary woman. A day after giving birth to her 8th child the nurses told her they needed a name and she had not yet chosen one for her daughter. Finally she yelled, okay, and this became her name.

I helped care for preemie twins the other night; Ginger and Cinnamon (we thought the same thing a previous poster did about how soon can they start their Mediao career). Not that those names are all that odd really, just odd together.

Some hispanic names seem odd to some of us though they are very average within their culture. We've had an Alfredo (as in sauce) and a Margarita. Difference being that as I said these are absolutely normal average names in hispanic cultures.

"Alfredo" is just the latin version of "Alfred" (just like Juan = John, Pablo = Paul, etc), which is a name that was VERY popular for baby boys in the early 1900s. Alfredo sauce was actually named after the chef who made it popular - Alfredo di Lelio.

As for Margarita, that's just a Latin form of the name "Margaret". It is a name that has been around for many, many years - popular in both Spanish and Russian culture. It also means "daisy flower" in Spanish. One story claims that an admirer created the drink for Rita Hayworth, who's real name was Margarita.
