What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

Nurses Humor Nursing Q/A

As many of you know by now, Kim Kardashian had her baby. As if you couldn't miss all the annoying coverage over every single detail. They named that poor kid North West. What are some of the funniest/weirdest/most unusual baby names you have seen? Could be a patient or someone you know in your personal life. And if you are someone with one of those odd names did you just learn to live with it or would you change it.

We delivered a set of twin girls back in November and their parents named them Karma and Chaos...then a couple months later we had a mom name her daughter Angel Heaven....

I worked NICU for 18 years.....Some of my most memorable were....Tenacious, lady parts (pronounced va-jeana), Jazz January, and Demerolia....to name a few.....

The mom's name was Leaf. The dad's name was Twig. They named the baby Sprout. I met this family years ago when I was in nursing school. They were vegetarians and wouldn't feed the baby anything but vegetables. I tried to explain the benefits of breast feeding but since milk wasn't a vegetable.....

Never mind the horrible name. That poor baby had a hard life ahead of him.

P.S. It took a week and help from social services to convince them that breast milk was really the best food for an infant.

I mean, really? If somebody wants to be vegan or whatever that's fine, but babies are SUPPOSED to eat breast milk. That's what it's for! Wow! I can't wrap my brain around that one.

While working for the clerk of court in 1988, we often had brothers on the docket named Orangejelo and Lemonjelo. Even the judge called them "jello".

A family I know of has kids named Peace, Watchman, Standard, Given, Victory, and Praise.

I'm all for biblical names, but I thought these were a bit out there.

Poor Standard :( What an awful name, I think the rest of those names listed are awesome though!

I just wanted to add that Dorcas is a bible name Dorcas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia female disciple of Jesus.

I went to school with more Unique's than I could count and a Thunder and Storm (they were twins). I've also known grown La-la's and Honey's.

A teacher friend of mine had a student in kindergarten with the name La-a. Until the first parent teacher conference (which was a month into the school year) nobody knew how to correctly pronounce the girl's name, which was pronounced Ladasha.

Sorry, but no dice. Another supposed sighting of these fictitious twins, even though a simple Google search will reveal it's been a lie going on for decades.

Hello Debbie Downer, go ahead and have a seat outside this thread.

Maybe you like being inundated with ridiculous repetition of urban legends, but I think there's enough who don't that it's worth saying. There's ALOT of funny stuff that's true without mucking it up!

But thanks for playing ;)

my name is Charissa pronounced sha-re-sah used to hate it when I was a kid but it is original and I love it now. work with a girl named geirda pronounced gear-da went to school with 3 kids named Melissa lynn .normal right ? her sister was Desirella Deglee brother is Obidiah Daniel they were called Obed and Desi they are awesome ppl love them

I actually like those names ;)

Not patients but I do know a Thor Basil lol and he loved his name. My sister ( who is very intelligent book wise not street wise) actually wanted to name my nephew Fabio. Thank god we persuaded her towards something else.

I've been a peds nurse for 27 years so I've seen a few unusual names. Last names are withheld to protect their privacy. Sunshine Over Was...ton (last name was also the name of their city). Other unusuals include 2 Ikeas (from two families, they were conceived in the store), a girl named Peter, 3 boys named Dominique, a baby named Aphrodesiac (to a teen mom), a girl named Shitina member (middle name pronounced Penne), Female (another teen mom who said the hospital named her baby for her-pronounced fe-ma-lay), Hyphen, Apostrofee, Natan-el (pronounced Nathaniel), and so many more.

Oh my, where d I begin?

I worked in OB for many years and we used to write down the unusual names that the moms came up with. The list was too long for us to save (pre-computer days) and eventually we just stoped. Here are a few that I remember:

Tuna

Latrina

Yipett and Kipett (twins)

Genitalenica Joantain Bell

T9C

Nosmo King (no smoking)

We had one mom who insisted naming her son Idi Amin
