What's the weirdest baby name?

Hi, I was wondering about some of those weird names that you've probably encountered in L&D and PP. I remember when I had my maternity rotation a couple of weeks ago, one of the nurses said she remembers a patient that named her child Placenta. I couldn't believe it that some child has to live his life named after disgusting afterbirth!

I'm being an insomniac and since I'm anxiously awaiting the birth of my first child, I've been reading the L&D threads for a while. This thread should be entitled what NOT to name your baby. I'm going to refer people here when they look at me funny for telling them we're naming our baby boy Nash.

Only 2 stand out in my mind.

Halloween and Cliti, which I thought sounded just way too close to privy parts.

Justin Case (Just in case!!!!)

That reminds me of another one we had--Justin Thyme. I'm not sure whether he WAS just in time, or if the parents just thought it was cute.

We had a woman on our floor and her first name was Patience. She sucked your patience dry.

I finally remembered that boy name we had. I walked into NICU one day and there was a nametag "Ishaquiel" (spelling is to the best of my memory - I might be one letter off). Anyhow, I stood there running over the pronunciation mumbling it to myself... I finally thought "EYE-sha-keel"... that's odd... this child is caucasian/hispanic. Oh well.

When I commented about it to a fellow nurse (we were alone), I was informed that I was wrong, it was a spelling variation of "ee-ZEEK-ee-ul". (In whose universe?!) Poor child. He'll be correcting people mispronouncing his name for the rest of his life. Where do parents come up with this stuff?!

When I was doing my student rotation in L&D, this lady told me she heard the nurses talking about the MOST BEAUTIFUL baby name she had ever heard..................are you ready.............MECONIUM! Yep. Well I took the opportunity to do a little "student" teaching stat! When I told her what it was, she changed the kid's name to Shirley! Tee Hee.

Also here is another. Last name was LEER, She named the baby Chrystal Shanda. GAG ME.

no.joke. and the parents were completely normal...and by that i mean not star wars freak or trekkis. they thought it would be "cute".

We are having a run on twins named Heaven and Nevaeh. Gee...how original. I truly don't think people consider their children will have to grow up and live with these names as adults.

Also...twins Lindon and Landon. Kemariastorie, Jenayanalies (anyone notice the word anal in the middle of this one?? kindergarten is going to be a nightmare and their names will never fit on those applications with the blocks where you fill in letters)

I work with a cna named Precious and I always think of that creepy old troll from Lord of the Rings!

Also, I love the name Micah but I cant help but think of the acronym for Mentally Ill Chemical Abusers.

I work with people who have spouses who are teachers. Here are a few names of children they have had in class. Shithead, twins Syphyllis and Gonorrhea. Another friends daughter's college roommate was Raspberry and her sister's name was Snowflake.

Please tell me you are kidding about this!
