More Strange Baby Names

AngelGirl · Mar 10, 2003

I heard of a Mom who visited the Health Dept for care years ago. She really liked two of the names she saw posted, and happily used them both when she delivered twin girls.

She named them Sy-PHILLis and Gon-ARhea. :eek: :eek:

Maybe if she ever has boys, she can name them Penicillin and Rocephin.

Pronounced Pen-ICILLin and RO-cephin. These boys would be great cures for whatever might ail the girls. :blushkiss

We all come across the unusual at some point. I had a little girl that was named: Colours Galore and her brother was Montana Blue. And on the hand, I had a mom, who liked her kids so much that they are named after her favorite wines. Chardonnay, Chablis and Champagne. Only in Missouri.

We have a child in our area named "Shithead" also. It is pronounced "Shut-ade." Also have a girl named "Precious."

My daughter has a fairly unusual name: Kendall. She came home the other day complaining that no one else has her name. I told her she was unique and that if I was at her school and said "Kendall" all of the staff knew who I was talking about - no last name needed. I then told her that made her like - Madonna! Famous and only one name needed!

Dear MomNRN,

My very first primary patient in the NICU (17 years ago) was a little girl named Kendall. She was, without a doubt, one of the most gorgeous preemies I've ever seen. Despite being premature, she was plump with fat, round, rosy cheeks. I don't suppose she's yours, but you've brought back a very pleasant memory. I often wonder what has become of my special patients.

I grew up with a playmate whose Mom wanted to name her "Princess." The Dad's family revolted, demanding that she choose some other name. So, without further restrictions imposed, she happily chose a name that should bring to mind a similar picture. :idea: The girl's name was "Queenette." :rolleyes:

Jolie -

My daughter is only 8-years-old, but she is pretty enough to have been your patient! :)

I almost forgot! My grandmother-in-law is Pearl, she has sisters named: Ruby, Goldie, and Opal. What if her parents would have had a boy? Silver? Ha Ha...but it does make you wonder

PS- I think Kendall is neat!

When I have children I won't be very adventurous- we will call our daughter Anna Marie (don't have a boys name in mind--guess it runs in the family)

I was almost named Silver!! My mother wanted to name me Silver Shannon, but my dad and all of my mom's family freaked out, so I ended up being Sheena. My dad named me after Sheena Easton, and after I am married, I will be Sheena Ysen (Pronounced Eason). I think that is weird!
