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!

cash deville (boy)

My grandfather's name is Bienvenido (welcome in spanish). He named my father Bienvenido as well so my dad's name is Welcome Junior hahaha.

My mother's bestfriend's mother's name is Bienvenida.. we call her Mama Bien.. LOL

Ooh I have one to add! Not at our hospital but close by: a baby girl named Leeloo. I'm assuming that it's after the character in The Fifth Element. :o

Yes! lee loo dallas multipass!! lmao ^_^

Strangest name I've encountered is "Klamideyah" (yeah, like the STD). Why are parents so cruel!?

Not that I am bored or anything, but..... Placenta, The jello kids, Nosmoking, Female, lady parts, and Shithead were all mentioned in the first few pages of this thread in 2002!!! They should all be at least 9 years old by now!!! :)

I don't think they are so much cruel as they are ignorant.

I am NOT kidding: Meconium. Mom was insistent on it, even put it on the birth certificate application. Finally, the nurses decided that they had an absolute duty to the little girl to explain to her Mom what meconium is, and to beg her to pick something else. Luckily, she did.

Once saw a pt name her daughter Nspire (first name) Adream (middle).

A little girl with the name Abcde...pronounced ab-si-dee. Cute I guess, but that poor girl is going to have to explain her name spelling each and every time someone hears it

In nursing school during clinicals, one of my fellow student nurses had a patient named L-a. So she figured that her name was pronounced "La". When she called her that the patient said "No, no it's Ladasha!" Go figure.

If this thread can keep going for another 8 months (which I don't see being a problem at all), it will be 10 years old.

And it will have 400 entries for La-dash-a, 300 for the Jello Twins, and 100 each for Chlamydia, Female, Meconium, and Abcde! :D
