Justin Thyme

My (chemist) bro insisted he would name his children Chlorine, Florine, Bromine and Iodine. He didn't (wife may have had something to do with that)

When I was a student nurse, I was working Mother/Baby during a clinical rotattion. I had just taken a baby in to her Mom to be fed when the lady from the Health Dept. came in to register the birth. As one might expect, the mother and father were not married, in fact the father was a "sperm donor"- a non participant in this baby's life.
When the Health Dept. lady asked the mother for the baby's name, she said ( I SWEAR!) "I don't know how to pronounce it, but I made it up, and I have it written down." She then reached into the drawer of her bedside table and pulled out a small piece of notepaper. On it were 23 DIFFERENT LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET! The lady asked her if this was the name she wanted for her child on her birth certificate, and the mother said "yes." The lady dutifully copied the letters down.
If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I never would've believed it! Can you imagine the nickname the mother probably gave the child...ABC?

Miracle was mentioned in a previous post. We had a child in the ER named Remiracle. Must have been her second child. LOL

We've had several "Precious", also.

I can't think of any more right now, but those stick out! And the spellings are another thing. I don't even write the name on the crib card in our NICU until I have confirmed with MOM how they are spelling it. Dads often say--"i don't know how we'll spell it" And I have been the victim of postpartum hormones for spelling a common name the 'normal' way one time too many!

Was the teen mom Hispanic?
Margarita is the Spanish version of Margaret.

One of my old boyfriends said if he ever had a son, he wanted to name him Obediah Cain.
