What's the weirdest name you've heard a patient name her baby?

Yeah I know....Nevaeh haven't heard that one before....LOL

Well that's understandable, cause it's actually not a bad name (IMO), but my Step brother did it because of the Seinfeld episode!

We had a Tuesday, she was born on Tuesday, but so was her twin brother and he got a perfectly normal boy name (don't remember it, but it was normal).

I came across sisters named Chanel, Fendi, Gucci, and Versace. And no, they weren't French nor Italian.

And surprise, the mom was quite the materialistic woman.

Shoemocca Taiwan. My patient couldn't think of what to name her second baby. I asked her what her first baby was named. She told me "Shoemocca Taiwan." I asked her how she came up with that. She said the birth clerk came in and told her she had to have a name. "I looked down at my house shoes," she said, " and they were moccasins, so I thought of Shoemocca. Then the lady said I needed a middle name." You know what happened next, don't you?? "I looked in my shoes and it said 'Made in Taiwan', so that's her middle name"

I promise this is true!

Nevaeh is actually one of the most common names (I think it was #37 or so last year) My mom taught kindergarten last year and she had three students named that.

The best I've seen is a former classmate I had to partner with for a project. Her name was Chanel, so I wrote down "Chanel" and she looks at me and goes, "No, Chanel like the fashion designer." Um, that's how you spell it! I asked her "How do you spell it?" and she goes "CHANNEL." I didn't know whether to crack up or not, because she HAD a Chanel purse. The correct spelling is right in front of your face!!!

The LTC I'm doing clinicals at has a lady whose birth name was Candy Canes. She's really sweet, too.

Had a 14 yo mother of twins deliver one night and she told the staff that she was naming them Bert and Ernie. Of course we didn't really believe her. But when the birth certificates came back to the floor for the doctors to sign, sure enough, she'd named them Bert and Ernie. Where is the justice??

I suppose that's better than Big Bird and Snuffleupagus.

Bit of nerd trivia: The original Bert and Ernie were the cop and the cabdriver who helped George Bailey in the much-loved Christmas movie, "It's a Wonderful Life." The Sesame Street characters were named after them.
