Two of my children have a half brother by their biological mother. Named the poor kid after her favorite beverage: Jack Daniels.

Not a name I've encountered, but my good nurse buddy is married to a cop and part time parole officer. He had a "client" named "Strawberrious" (male)

I went to school with twin boys...Steven & Stephan

(Stephan pronounced "Steffan")

One of my best friends has a grandmother named Jewel.

But in my family...we all have 'normal' names. Just some wierd nicknames...I've got a Great-Aunt "Tootie", an Great-Uncle "Beans" (he's married to "Tootie") and I had a Great-Aunt "Skip" (who was "Tootie"s sister). :)

My step-son's name is Braxton Mackenzie. His mom is Kendell Lee (first and middle names) - unusual names but really neat - I think she did a good job!

My grandmother is Ruby Claire and my other one (I found out when were were preparing her obit. - can't believe I never knew this!) was named officially (on her birth cert!) Tiny Mary Ann Clement.

Went to hs with a guy whose family is Korean. All the boys in the family have the first name Jun last name Yum. It's the middle name that distinguishes them: Jun Bum Yum, Jun Sak Yum (those are the two I remember)

My aunt kept twins: Relencia and Relesia. They were combinations of mom and dad's names.

Cousin named MacKenna and another named Arenda - both girls

This isn't that unusual but definitely southern: aunt named Betty Jean

Here's another good OLD southern name: Hembree- that was my great-uncle's name. Some others from the family tree: Cuyler, Willis, Lyman, Candler, Asa and best of all: Ninian Beall (all men) and Rubilee, Ollie, Sadie, Starla

I remember when my middle name was unusual - you hear it more often now: Ansley

Had a patient in Post-partum not so long ago who was Muslim and they named their daughter Muhammed. They told me it was unusual for a girl but they wanted to honor the grandfather whose name was also Muhammed.

Former next door neighbor named their daughter Gracie Lou (and yes, this was before Miss Congeniality came out!) - can you tell I live in the south?!?

My twin aunts names were: Karen Sue and Esther Lou!

ShandyLynnRN, BSN, RN · Mar 29, 2003

This isn't a baby name, but I used to have next door neighbors whose last name was Hynum.... I was SOOOO scared I was going to say it wrong and call them the Hymen's.

My grandfather was from the south and hi name was Heber Gregg (pronounced heeber) when he passed away we went to order flowers and the guy at the florist shop said "is that Jeeber Gregg?" as sad as we both were my sister and I cracked up that someone could actually mess up his name even more!
