Funny Names

Published

What are some of the funniest names that you guys and gals have seen at work? I'll start

Twins : Roderrick and Roderricka,

Twins : Autumn and Fall

Girl : Asshole (A-sole-lee)

P.s. This thread is just for fun.....

This really isn't funny, but there's another "strange baby name" thread on here.

One nurse told about a black couple who wanted to name their son Aryan Nation. :no: She explained what the Aryan Nation was, since they obviously didn't know, but they insisted because they had heard this on television and liked the way it sounded.

:down:

I recently heard about a little boy named Ozzy. Not John Michael, which is Mr. Osbourne's legal name, but OZZY.

We have a baby whose first name TOTALLY rhymes with her last name (of course I can't say it on here) but it's nearly as silly sounding as Bobby Knobby LOL...but its also sorta fun to say. I think/hope that she is just listed under her mothers last name since she and FOB are involved w/other kids but not married...so baby might legally have dad's last name. If not, at least maybe she'll only sound silly til she gets married hahaha

Specializes in NICU.

triplets: angeluis, angelezell, angeleena nevaeh (dad's name was angel)

triplets: mikah (muh-kye), mikal (michael), and markell

twins: crystal and cristal (like the alcohol)

shamij - pronounced like "semaj" but mom wanted a different spelling... defeating the purpose of naming the kid after dad (james).

ny'ji - mom spent an hour deciding where to put the apostrophe... and whether or not it should have an accent mark somewhere.

and a co-worker swears he went past the well baby nursery and saw a kid named swedish fish.

I've been looking through here to see if one of my girls' nurses might have listed their names! :lol2: I have twins named Furie Sioux and Fenix Eden. People either LOVE those names, or they smile in a very fake way and say "Oh, those are nice."

My girls were born 9 weeks early, and spent 5 weeks in NICU. My husband and I didn't know the sex of one of the babies, so we didn't have any names picked out at all. It took me all four days I was in the hospital to come up with names, and they were threatening to not discharge me until I named the babies.

I like to joke that I was on morphine when I named them (c-sec.), but those names were on my list anyway. We had seen on t.v. that a NICU somewhere gave their babies strong, nythological nicknames, to help them grow into strong, healthy babies. Fenix is the Middle English spelling of "Phoenix", and I think most people know the story behind it. Furie is also a strong mythological character. Actually, it was a set of sisters that went after murderers and criminals. It is where the word "fury" comes from. Eden is a family name (Edens), and Sue is, too, but we wanted to spell it differently.

Anyway, that is the story of my girls' funny names :clown:. I aspire to be a NICU nurse myself someday, and I'm sure I'll have some names to add to this list.

I'll add mine- sorry if there's repeats:

Tyquavis

Crew

Liberty Gem

For awhile we had the "Stripper Pod"- Diamond, Diamond Asia, and Paris

And we had a story going around the first NICU I worked in about a Hispanic mom who decided to name her baby Meconium-apparently she heard the word and thought it sounded pretty and no one could talk her out of it. Could be one of those "nursing legends":D

Kate's on to something, Steve. You can be more creative than that ;).

How about Dyett-Pepp-siey-Vahneela? You could always call her Nevaeh for short :chuckle.
