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!

A lady let the resident that assisted in her delivering her twins pick the names - Gnorrhea and Syphyllis

NNNAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH; don't believe it!

I was really surprised when I worked at a girls' camp this summer how many boys' names I saw on the list. Some names can easily go either way, but others I think are a little too masculine for these little girls. Ryan, Dillon, Tyler, Spencer, Logan, Michael, Shawn. My favorite was Miles. Who named this beautiful little girl Miles?

I was watching a PBS show about genealogy a few days ago, and one of the people they profiled had an ancestor named Mellitus.

FWIW, I believe this word is derived from one that means 'honey'.

Tantric Coyote . The parents said it had some sort of Greek meaning, but it just sounds like its MidEVIL or something...

Greek for "eff-ing" dog?

I think one of the oddest names I have come across is Tuff, which I guess would not be too bad but his last name was Guys.

I took care of a baby whos young parents had named her "Metallica". Must have been their favorite band or something. All I kept thinking was thank God their favorite band wasn't "Meat Loaf"!

Or Butthole Surfers.

At least little Metallica can go by "Allie."
