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!

I really need to start writing these down at work so I don't forget them... We've had lots of Nevaehs and Paytons and Kaydens, but the weirdest name I can think of is actually one my well-meaning friends were going to give their daughter. They were looking for 'different' names for a long time, and had settled on Candida!

I only had the heart to tell them it was a kind of yeast, I couldn't tell them what candida is best known for... yikes!

Although,I have seem many weird names, the name of the week in my facility is (drumroll please...)

"One" pronounced like the number-and he was not the first baby, he was the fourth!

Actress Anne Heche has an older son named Homer. She just named her new baby boy . . . . Atlas. Talk about having the weight of the world on your shoulders.

The baby's last name is Tupper. Maybe he will grow up to invent a new piece of Tupperware--the map keeper. That way his older brother can find his way Homer.

Stop me before I hurt myself.

I do not know the patient personally, but we were having this discussion at lunch one day and a MA told me that a patient in her former office had named her daughter Ladasha (pronunciation) ----- spelling = La-a the "dash" is represented by the symbol in the spelling of the name. What in the world???

I've heard that just this past week from my 13 year old daughter. We must live in the same area!!

Ok my mother was one of 12 girls, she had a sister named Blad, (Blod), as if that wasn't bad enough my fathers brother married a woman named Blad. I guess it was short for Bladwyn??

I hope the wolf-related name is spelled Lycan and not Lichen--a fungus.

What ever happened to good solid names? You know- "Beulah", "Edith", "Edgar", or "Gertrude" ? Oh ya, they got old and now live in LTC!!!! I was happy that my daughter who had her baby 9 months ago chose a nice name- no funky spellings or weirdo pronounciations. She chose Audrey. And that baby is a sweetie!!
