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!

Have you ever noticed that folks who will name their kids the most unpronounceable mangle of letters will name their pets "normal" names -- woman I used to work with named her daughter Kalisandreiaaure. Kid you not, and I'm going for the phonetic spelling, God only knows how she actually spelled it. Name of their tomcat? Sam. Go figure.

Her daughter had her name legally changed to "Callie" in college. I don't know how you'd have gotten that onto a diploma....

RESPECT NAMES!!! I dont know maybe people might be thinking the name you gave your KID is stupid. DO you want that being the talk on the web? If not, then stop insulting these wonderful parents. YOu have no right to do this and you should be given respect. Just to give you a little heads up, you can get fired for insulting a name given to a parents baby. So, it's not going to be funny if you get fired. SO STOP IT!!

This is almost that same thing you posted a few days ago, so here is the same answer you got back then. We are not insulting people. We are not telling parents the name they gave their child is stupid. No one is saying anything to the parents or the children. So this threat that we could be fired is pointless.

If you find this thread upsetting, please, stop reading it.
