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!

By far, the worst name I have ever heard was a mother who was going to be naming her child "Chlamydia". Even after another RN explained to the pt the medical definition of the word. Poor child....

Identical threads merged. Let the wacky baby names continue!!

:icon_roll OH Boy, where do I begin? These are all really names, not urban myths. I've worked mother/baby the past 7 years and actually spoke to the parents or saw the following birth certificates:

Abcde (pronounced ABB-SID-EE).

Grinnen Barrett (1st and middle name)

Alaris (The manufacturer of our IV pumps)

Brenna and Brinna (twins who were later probably referred to as

"hey You" by the mother.)

Nosmoking (pronounced NOS-MO-KING)

Maybe we should require mom to be free from narcotics to name their children!:rotfl:

Hi-

I'm not an OB nurse, and these are not patients, but actual people I know-

I actually know TWO women named Crystal Claire Waters!

and I had a friend who grew up hating his parents for naming him Jay, a relatively normal name, but his last name was Walker. When I heard he was having a son, I figured, he'd do a better job. I was relieved to hear the baby's name was Luke. Until I heard his middle name... I kid you not, "Skye". There really should be laws against this kind of child abuse!

I kinda like Alaris.

Shithead, pronounced shi thade.

A lot of girls name their baby Nevaeh, heaven spelled backwards.

oh my gosh, a former classmate of mine in college name her baby daughter "ayexia" !!!

If I ever have another baby and it's a boy, I'm naming him Iorek Byrnison.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or under the thread with funny names for nurses.

While doing my clinicals last semester I worked with Dr. Candice Dick. I went to the AMA site to see what her real name is and it is.......Candice Delite Dick (yes she is often called Candy)

What were her parents thinking?

Probably that she'd do well as a stripper!!

I knew a nurse named Silence.

Wouldn't it be cool if her surname was Song or Storm?
