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!

One of my aunts had the middle name of "Uretta". She hated it and told her mother "You might as well have named me URINE and been done with it!"

I have had several Strange ones....One was not so bad..Chrystal Lear...until you added the middle name Chandra..Chrystal Chandra Lear! There was this guy watching sports the whole time his wife was laboring and pushig when I asked what they were going to name thier daughter he said" E S P N." I asked, Espn, trying to make it a word and he said" No, E S P N." I said, like the sports network? And he said," Yea, cause we was watching it when she got knocked up!" But the one that made me mad was a medicaid pts husband who when asked the babies name said "Cashea Monae, spelled Cash' Money' 'cuse this baby is cash money to me."

We had a pt last week named Kellie Kelly. We all figured she married a man named Kelly but it turned out she was single. Also I went to school with a Dusty Rhodes.

How about Hunter, Fisher, and Trapper for three boys. The father was an avid outdoorsman.

I had friend who just had a baby boy named Cache. We told her if she had a girl to name her Carrie. Cache and Carrie (get it?) Cash and carry???? lol:chuckle :roll :chuckle :roll :chuckle

Ooh, I forgot two!! We had twins not too long ago named Shaquita and Shakita. Pronounced the exact same way, spelled differently. Please tell me how SPELLING THEM DIFFERENTLY but pronouncing them the same way is significant. Anyone? Anyone? (sound of crickets) Hello? Right.

Yuck Cristi don't kiss those small hands haven't you seen where they come from!?!?!?

Saw a baby girl named Fury last night. That's right. Fury. She was living up to her name too. One of the nurses kindly suggested she change the kids name to Patience. LOL

:D How about these...Miranda, Cymphany, Drako, and Dravin...Names of nieces/nephews. My niece Carisma just named her baby Enchantment, I swear I tried to talk her out of it.

I have heard a couple of unusual names. I remember one little girl named "Secret (first name) House(middle name)". A dr told of a woman naming her new little girl "lady parts". Imagine going through puberty with that one!:eek: I knew of an older lady with the name of "Lovey" (Her real name, not a nick name). I love names...the odder, the better. (But only in other people, I want me and mine to own nice,normal names. :p
