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 know someone named "Beblonde" but guess what she's african american... lol

We bother her till this day...

Satin Sheets - the poor kid - l cant beleive anyone would do that to a child

One of my co-workers swears they went to school with a Harold Richard Head. I don't think I need to point out the nickname possibilities.

my hubby does social security disability and he swears that he personally has seen people named lemonjello and orangejello (pronounced le-mohngello and or-ahngello). i don't know.

urban myth dennie. i have heard that one a million times.:D

isn't there an old story about a hispanic lady who had a baby girl and saw "female" written on her baby girl's layette.......so she thought they had named it for her?? female hernandez. pronounced "fehmallee

yup, heard that one too.:p

i also had a teen mom who named her child margarita......(sad).

i wanted to name my oldest that, because when she was concieved i was drinking, guess what ?:imbar

Fucquaya..I'll let ya'll sound that one out for yourselves

seems like people who name their babies strange names end up with sick kids...

could be the genes, eh?

After 30 years of pediatrics, I've heard a lot of UNUSUAL names! These are a few that come to mind.

Diamond Dick - named after grandpa

Darvonne - named after gramndma's medicine.

Ecclesiastes

Porsha, Mercedes and other car names

Precious Miracle Tomorrow Hope and then another named Precious Miracle Tomorrow's Hope

Triplets-Shaquita, Tequila and Markeeta

Rugby

Chandilier - not sure how spelled it now

November Dawn

Spring Forest

Some are the unusual (creative) spelling

Nike -pronounced like Nicki

Ambyr - never thought there was another way to spell Amber

Shunleo - mother pronounced it differently the three times I heard her say it.

I guess I take the cake! My oldest daughter was going to be Portia (from the Merchant of Venice, not the car), until my hubby came up with an even better name from the next piece of classic literature he read.

My youngest is on AHRN's list, although spelled differently. I won't give their names here, but suffice it to say that they never have had and probably never will have any duplicates in their classes!

i was telling my fiancee about some of these crazy names and he said that in pharmacy school, he had a classmate named sparkle box!!! :lol2:

I took care of a patient by the name of "Lufituaeb".. beautiful spelled backwards!! There is a girl at my son's school named Whiskie!
