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.

I know a girl who named her child Royal Ball. Seriously.

Had a teacher friend with a little boy name champagne. I told her to teach him to go by Champ. Would be the best thing she could teach him all year.

I know a few names that stick out.....jäger....because that's how he was conceived, and harshit......an Indian name. A few wired spelling to normal names, but why people make up names is beyond me.

A woman had a baby next to a gas pump yesterday and named the baby Valero! Just kidding although it would be appropriate.

Ok, I haven't read through all 25 pages - but I have just one to add. One of our residents keeps a list of names she has come across in med school thru to the present. The BEST one that had me laughing for days:

Sh'

Now, when I guessed how to pronounce it, I guessed Shpostrophe. Wrong!

It's......

Shcommatothetop.

New one today: Aahzlie; pronounced "Oz-lee"

I know someone who named her son ZEISS...after the rifle scope (Zeiss also makes microscopes, some sort of photography something, and things like that). Zeiss isn't so bad, but the mother insisted on spelling it with all CAPITAL letters...so the little guy will always be ZEISS. He will always have to explain that is is ZEISS, not Zeiss.

When I had cataract surgery, the second they put the lens in, I could see the ZEISS logo on the equipment above me. It made me giggle. The surgeon asked why I was laughing and when I explained, he informed me his daughter was named Zeiss...after I apologized, he laughed and told me he didn't have a daughter and that his sons have very normal names.
