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!

I had an adorable little sudanese couple who had a baby girl-we put the crib cards on the bassinet-pink and it says "I'm a girl!" and in shadow print it says Female -when I asked her name they sweetly said 'Fe-Mal-ee" (emphasis on the MAL) They were sweet as hell and that little girl was a knock-out!

Okay--twin girls named Lemonjello and Orangejello. No joke.

Here are some I have come across, OB doc from India I think named Dr Cutshe pronounced "coochie" another OB doc named her first 3 after potatoes since she grew up on a potato farm Yukon and Magnus boys, Winter girl and last son Ruger. We recently had a Nevaeh. Also in the past Wyndam, Katana, Typhany, Acacia, Eleni, Hermione, Raija, America, Declan, Domojia, Rider, Cordell, Rico, Cienna, Alasia, Lakota, Vayda, Ryne, Bo, Jistien, Blade, Chayton, Bennett, Brylie, Taj, Armiena, Jorryn, Claydrian, Brynn, Sonny, Zephania, Junior, Briar, Contessa, Dyani, Urban, Myshia, Aiyana, Ayla, Shyla, Yasmean, Aurora, Cadense, (my son-Holten), Ryland, Stormy, Caulden, Tirzah, Linus, Bryten, Adara, Linnea and that's just the last 4 yrs worth.... :)

of these, i quite like winter, eleni, declan (i'd seriously consider calling my child declan), cienna (pretty, but i'd spell it sienna), blade, taj, briar, ayla, and aurora (though i'd never be able to name a child aurora as that's what the power company in Tassie is called).

if i'm ever lucky enough to have a son, i fully intend to call him ash.

am i one of those weird mothers (to be)?

I like Ash-I recently had an Asher than shortly after I had, I asked them to reiterate it, a boy named Canner!:roll I had thought they said Tanner!

We had a couple from another country (for the life of me, I can't remember which one!) - anyway they wanted to name their newborn baby boy "Farty". Well, one of the nurses tried to gently explain to them what Fart meant in English!;)

I guess no one told mom it's also the name of a nasty nerve gas developed by the Germans. (and used in a terrorist attack on the Tokyo subway a few years ago)

Someone heard the word Chlamydia said and thought it was such a pretty name. Can you imagine the little girl in sex ed class when she hears that her name is a disease? I guess the mom can really say that she has Chlamydia. :chuckle

Mom heard the word "lady parts" during her delivery. Thought it was very pretty and decided that lady parts was going to be her baby's name.

have heard of sha- theed ( spelled SH**HEAD)

ah-show-le (spelled AS*HOLE)

la-mon and ah-rawnge jeh-low (lemon and orange jello)

my cousin is a boy named Ariel- the mom expected a girl and refused to change it. another cousin had his name misspelled on the birth certificate.

My friend has 8 kids, one is named Lovelee.

Another friend has 3 kids- Philem (a girl, short for Philemon- a book in Bible), Nahum -a boy, another book in the Bible - and Keturah- a girl, a prophet. Those aren't too bad- but I kid you not- if they had any more kids they want to name the next one Kuzco- like the Emperor's New Groove llama thing!!! They have already named their cat Kuzco....

Some people think my name is weird.

Fawn

Hey, My best friend name is Millionetta (her father's name "Milton" and her mother's name "Bernetta" mixed together. Her little sister's name is "Youpromiseme" pronounced just like you promised me!And my cousin just named her daughter Zyen-Isis, pronounced Zion- Eye Cyst, I told her that it sounds like an eye disease!! Lets just say that we call her Zyen! I have a friend in college named Yudelka, pronounced You-dell-kah. By the way, my name is Brynn pronounced Bren, I don't think that its a crazy name but I am tired of people calling Bryan , Brian.
