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!

Specializes in Geriatrics.
I once talked to a gentleman whose first name was Harry and last name was Dick....His parents must have hated him:rotfl:

How about Richard Hare - Goes by Dick. :lol2:

one of my friends did drag and his drag name was Cinnamon Toast.

I actually LOVE the name Cinnamon---wish I had thought to name one of my daughters that! Cinnamon was kind of a popular name in the early '70s, especially among Neil Young fans (like me!) who loved his song "Cinnamon Girl."

Sage was a popular name, then, too, for boys AND girls. Sylvester Stallone's first son is named "Sage Moonblood Stallone." Laurel was a popular gir's name then, too.

I met a young couple in Mother/Baby who named their new baby girl.........

Fancyrose...one whole word. I felt really bad for her. :o

Specializes in NICU.
i decided, since the 2nd "strange baby names" thread was getting so long, let's start another.

ready.....set.....go!

twins from last night - gypsy and cinnamon. (what a great start to their Media/stripper careers)

orion - (baby boy) - ok, this one did have a romantic, constellation engagement story behind it, so it's not so bad, but still a strange, out-there name.

orzio - another baby boy - poor kid

and, drumroll please.....................

happy birthday to the winner of the year:

queen messiah jesus christ :balloons: :balloons:

oh yes, that was the baby's full, legal name for the birth certificate. oh how wonderful.

give me a few more births to attend at work, and i'm sure to have more to add. i have definitely noticed a trend towards the unusual/unique names lately. some of them sound and look just like random letters thrown together, that i can't even recall them once i get home.

the poor, poor kids........
