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!

Nada, that's just plain mean.

Not a patient of mine but I was looking at an old yearbook once and there was a girl named Ima Pigg. I'm guessing that was short for Imagene. And a guy named Brian Big Meat. I laughed for hours over that one....

Not a weird name, but a cute one: We had a couple with the last name of "New Year" not long ago. Yes, they had "Baby New Year"!
