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!

I love this topic...

My brother was updating his DNR with the help of the chaplain just hours before his recent transplant. It was a lot for him to handle, he was almost paralyzed with fear/excitement/disbelief about his impending surgery, and he had a little meltdown right there in front of the chaplain, notary, and me. The chaplain was very patient and calming, waiting for him to finish crying, but gently prodding him to pull it together because time was of the essence. Finally, the chaplain asked the CNA to get him Jack Daniels!! I thought, my brother IS upset, but why in the heck does this guy think its okay to give him a shot of booze??? Or have one himself??????

It turns out Jack Daniels is an old guy who is a hospital volunteer and acts as a witness for the living wills.

oops....my bad.

When I first started nursing a mother let her signifigant other name their daughter T-9-C. Texas no longer allows just letter or numbers for names. I know a Montrella and Cinderella. We had a mother who named her sons, Billy Idol and Van Halen. Being from Texas we have a lot of western names, Colt, Chisum, Riggin,Chekota,Dakota.

My mother has a female friend named Vernon.

Once a lady walked into the L/D unit where my friend worked. My friend asks her if she's got a name picked out for her baby...the girl (she was about 17) says, "Oh yes, I've got a nice Bible name for him." "Really?"

"Thashel. Thashel Nakeel." Friends scrolls through all the Bible names she knows & draws a blank. "What part of the Bible is that name from?"

"From the Ten Commandments. Thashel Nakeel, Thashel Nasteel..."

I am not making this up. Whether my friend is or not I don't know, but she's not one to make things up.

Vivian, Shirley were traditionally male names as is Alexis and Yves. As far as Lemonjello and Orangejello and co follow the link to snopes urban legands. http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/names.htm and sroll down for a list.

No (kinda worries me that someone ELSE named their kids that!). Those two were before my time, actually; from when my momma was in El Paso, i think. I'll ask her later. Onto another note, not really wierd, but different: Journey (she is a CUTE one)

EDIT: Oh, just remembered: Chlamydia :( (i **** you not; she saw it on a poster on a wall and thought it was a pretty name)
