What's the weirdest baby name?

Specialties Ob/Gyn Nursing Q/A

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!

my husband really wanted to name our boy seth. so what's the problem? our last name is poole and can you imagine if you the poor boy had a lisp???

DH thought it was hilarious, me: not so much. Just imagine the torture.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, on behalf of your son for resisting your husband's urge to saddle him with a horrible name for the sake of a cheap laugh. Lisp or no lisp, you can bet your boy would have been the object of many unfunny jokes.

At different times in my life I went to school with the following: Crystal and Shanda Leer, Mercedes Rolling, Tekkila (Pronounced like "Tequila"), and a Shevi (Like "Chevy"). My younger brother had a Mercedes Carr. My best friend's aunt works for the DMV here and had to call the other day to let us know that she did the license for a freshly-16-years-of-age "Tooth Fairy"... Have seen young kiddos in friends' kids' classrooms with names like Precious, Lovely, Beautiful, Lacy, Silkk, Sateen, Cadillac, etc. And a friend at work named her twin girls Grace Hope and Faith Love.

Oh man how could I FORGET?? My own step-brother... first name Jon middle name Wayne. And my mom and step dad each have the first name of someone on Roseanne and the last name Conner. *blinks*

Oh yeah--best one I think I've ever heard. My niece has a girl in her school whose name is Deja Pugh. I am drop dead serious. Can you imagine naming your kid that?!

My exboyfriends name was Paul. Which is cool except that the rest of his siblings were Matthew Morgan Madison and Michelle and his parents were Mitch and Moira. I just thought it was kinda mean. He wasn't even the youngest or oldest he was smack in the middle. So he went by Mike.

not a nurse yet, but had an antepartum tell me she was naming her some Demetrius because it reminded her of all the talk about her endomETRIOUS... =)) (She had an issue with her endometrial lining conceiving LMAO!

As a nurse as a poison center a few years ago, we had a call from a mother who said her child's name was (it sounded like) "Shi-theed". She was asked to spell it for the record, and mom spelled "S-h-i-t-h-e-a-d". What a way to go through life...

You are the second person so far to have said this. I'm sure "sh*thead" is surely a myth! Crazy! But we never know!

Geez...even though I was a very young teen parent(15 when I delivered) I managed to think about my child's future and how his name would measure up as he became an adult..his name is Michael Patrick. I think I did a good job :D
