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!

Took care of a Espher last night.

Why in hell would you name your baby Pacenta and Uterus ? :imbar Sometimes I think the social security office should have a say about what we want to name our babies since they can't speak for themselves. But then again, that would be violating our rights. I don't know.

My uncle, who is a pharmacist, also has kept a notebook of strange baby names. Among his are... Placenta AND Uterus, and he's had those MORE THAN ONCE!

My girlfriend's husband wanted to name their third child Elec Tricity (as in the power source). Thank goodness she convinced him to shorten is just to Trisitea (which is still pretty strange if you ask me!)

That's so funny, I also met these two siblings, boy and a girl, and their mom name them "Beyonce" and "Jay Z." Why would you do that to your kids? What are they going to do if God forbids they break up. Also, this girl I know who is Italian, named her son "Guido" pronounced Gweedo. If I was Guido, I would change my name as soon as I can legally.

Ok, I didn't read the previous thread, so I hope I'm not repeating any. (Sorry, not a nurse yet - but know a couple people with these names): Girl in Highschool: Free Mercy (yes, that's the full name), then there's Snow White and Candy Cane. Hmm - poor girls - and can you imagine having to smile after someone makes the same stupid remark that they think is sooooo original when you tell them your name for the nine-thousand-nine-hundred & 99th time!

I'm loving this thread! The only one I can think of lately is "Larry Dwayne". Not that it's that wacky of a name for an adult, I just found it awfully funny to call a baby by that name.

How's "Pisces Episcopal" strike you? And they are Catholic, btw...

Nice one. I seem to remember Jayden Jesus Christ as well. And I have to say the whole Larry Dwayne thing was a lot funnier when I was working nights...

I knew of a girl with an interesting name back in highschool.

The story went that after a traumatic pregnancy/delivery a baby girl was born. Her mother was inspired to name her daughter Miracle. Nice hunh? It so happens that the last name was Fingers, hence the name Miracle Fingers.

Turns out Mom knew what she was doing, little Miracle turned out to be a fantastic basketball player.

when I worked L&D, we had a baby named "Tequila Rose"QUOTE]

I have a cousin named Alize. I'm half puerto rican so i dont know if that's a spanish thing or if my uncle just really like the drink.

I cant think of any names that havent already been mentioned. I always thought my name was weird, Ciji, but i've grown to like explaining where it came from. If anyone watched Knots Landing then you'll know. The downsid is getting people to pronounce it right like C G. if they do say it then they ask oh what does that stand for? At least i didnt get stuck with Placenta or something.

How about names such as Marigold and Mariesilver. A lady whom I knew very well was adamant that she name her godchild Marigold, reason being that "Midas" named his daughter Marigold and everything she touched turned to gold. The mother was so impressed with the name that she named her other daughter Marisilver.

In another situation a priest insisted that the godmother name a boy St. Rose because he was born on "St. Rose's day."

Sunshine Love Flower ----Sad but true. Poor, poor child. There's no way to shorten that and make it sound good. Well, she could go by Flo.
