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!

Okay. Here's one: Abcde. Yes. The first five letters of the alphabet pronounced ab-si-dee.

I have a couple:

How about the names: Charmin Butts and Crystal Bell? For real. I also met someone who had named their kid ABCDE (pronounced Absidy).

I did not read this post earlier. I know of a person who named their child this also. I hope there is not more than one out there.

Specializes in ER/Trauma, research, OR.

Last name King. introducing Baby boy Nos Mo King. I swear to God I was in OB rotation and had this 1st time mother as a patient and almost failed my rotation when I did my teaching paper on bathing the infant to the mother and my instructor thought I made up the whole family d/t the babies name. I will never forget them.

Specializes in Cardiac/Telemetry.

My sister's friend's name is Marines.:wink2: She's there to protect us all :lol2: .

Okay.

My friend's Mum once worked in a health clinic with a young mum who had just called her daughter Bacardi Ann. Her last name? You guessed it. Coke. Bacardi Ann Coke.

I went to school with a guy called Lorne Bowlen (lawn bowling, geddit? Sounds better with an Australian accent)

My cousin taught a boy called Parker Hood!

When I worked in hospital admin and was bored (okay, a lot of the time), I used to look up people who had been born in the past few days. Can't remember any of the more outlandish ones, but I felt some poor little boy had a lot to live up to when his parents named him Harrison Ford. (Ford was the last name).

Specializes in Emergency.

We have a urologist in our town named Dr. Leake and a neurologist named Dr. Dick. Dr. Leake's associate wished his last name was Dick so he could be "Dr. Dick the dick doctor". We also have an OB doctor named Dr. Wellman. An ENT named Noyes (pronounced Noise).

My daughter goes to school with a girl named Austria, a boy named Edwardo Fahardo (don't know if that spelling is correct).

One of my favorite couples: my sister-in-law's brother's name is Dallas and his wife's name is.....Debbie. That's right, Debbie does Dallas.

I can't even come close....We have a Hazel or Felix scattered about. I guess we must be boring where I am...:)

I have known a Penny Poore and a Karma Roach.

I sent a lady to L&D today who is naming her baby girl "Surrender Kieran".

All I could think of was the scene in the Wizard of Oz where the Wicked Witch wrote "Surrender Dorothy" with black smoke coming from her broom.

When I asked her how she came upon this name, she said "It's Irish!" :lol2:

Specializes in Med onc, med, surg, now in ICU!.

Avalon and Ambrosia. Their mother's name is Candy, and their father is plain old boring John.

Tui (Toohey, an Aussie beer) and Bailey (as in Irish cream) because that's what their parents were drinking at the time they were conceived.

Obi Wan Kenobi (for real)

Vivian Vivian, William Williams, Edward Edwards... those sort of ones

My second-youngest brother would have been called Peanut if my sister had her way.

Oh, so many people just don't think. Richard Face, a local politician. His real first name is John. I guess he's unforgettable.
