While in nursing school (almost 14 years ago) we did our OB clinicals at the local state hospital. A mother delivered a set of healthy twins and she named them: O'rangejello and L'emonjello.
My husband's aunt is a teacher and she had a set of twins in her class named the same thing. Mom said she craved lemon and orange jello while she was pregnant and that's why she named them that. :chuckle
Used to keep a "strange names" list in the department. I've seen Kelly Greene, Snow White, Cash Money. One teenaged girl had undiagnosed twin boys, she had decided that if she had a boy, she wanted him to be addressed as "Sir", so she had chosen to name a boy child "Sir Walter". But she had two boys, so she named them Sir Walter and Sir Valter.
I think everyone has "heard" of someone named Lemonjello and Orangejello. Where I work now, one of the SCN nurses swears we had a set of twins named that several years ago. Five years ago, when I worked in Texas, there was supposedly another set of twins with the same name. When I was stationed in San Diego in the Navy 12 years ago, there was talk about a set there too. Makes you wonder about an urban legend.......
As a labor and delivery nurse I have seen the name Heaven quite a bit lately. I have known of two little girls named Heaven Nevaeh (pronounced Neh Vay Uh) and a set of twins named Heaven and Neveah. Neveah is Heaven spelled backwards!
I've seen a few Neveahs too. It's funny, because the parents think they're the first ones to think of it.
Strangest names I've seen: Abcde (pronounced "absidy") for a girl. With mom's second baby we asked her if she was going to name her fghij.Wolfgang Casket for a baby boy....I think the social worker talked this mother out of that one before discharge though.
Freedom V-Ray for a baby girl...right after Sept 11.
The wolfgang part reminded me, knew a boy called Marcell Wolfgang McDougall!
