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!

I have heard of a few unique names.

Went to school with some kids last name Bear - yep, the boy was named Teddy and the girl Panda.

OH, and almost forgot . . . my mom ALMOST named me "PATIENCE PENELOPE" - SERIOUSLY?!?!?! It was the 60's I guess.

Was your mom a druggie/hippie? That's the only excuse I can possibly think of for the name Patience Penelope! :p

Nope, or at least not that I am aware of. I'm sure not every mom tells of their wild days when they were young ;-)
