What's the weirdest baby name?

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 friend had a name I loved... Misty Gray for first and last, then her mom remarried a man with last name Cloud who adopted her... Misty Gray Cloud!

I've seen several Mike Hunt (say it aloud, you'll get it) as well as Timber, Sesame, Jaguar, Honda, MissPriss, Mistress, Venus, etc...

went to high school with a guy named Dick Baggs. always wondered how a parent couldve done that to him. Nice guy though.

also in a former practice setting we had a child with the name "Euddaman"...prounounced "you da man!"...

in the same practice we had a child named shithead, but her name was pronounced similar to Sinead (as in O'Connor)....should be child abuse charges for naming a kid something like that

Those are cool names. You know what I think is kinda weird? When people can't think of something original and use stuff like John, James, Jennifer, Margaret, etc. Those are odd to me!!!

My kids are Savvanah Rayne and Sahara Blue :) and I am darn proud of it. There is a fine line between unusual and stupid, though...

Oddly enough, so many people are opting for names like your kids' names that my kids' names, John and Michael, are considered "unusual" - there are actually multiple "Savannah"'s (with various spellings) at my kids' school but only 1 John (mine) and 2 Michael (one of which is mine).................

BTW, I hope I don't sound snotty because that is not my intention, but sometimes using names like "John" and "Jennifer" is not because you "can't think of something original" but because you are choosing to honour family or friends such as my son John being named for my husband's father who died of brain cancer at 39 when my husband was 10...........

(but his middle name is "Edsel" after my father - I don't think they get more original than that............)

My ex-bf new an asian girl in high school named Happy Face.

My best friend was jumped by a girl named Anita Coxhead. The cops wouldn't take her report until she showed them the girl's yearbook photo.

I know of child, whose parents are Iranian and Chinese, with the name Ting-Ting.

I also know a girl named Starry Knight.

My sister was a teacher and had a kid in her class whose name (i'm not lying) was Lemone Jello. His first name sounded like LAY-MON. And last name like JUE-LO....thus on paper...Lemon Jello. POOR KID!

I had a supervisor whose name was Cinnamon Dyke. Of course, everyone called her cinnamon...well...I won't go there for the last name...you can figure it out. She really deserved her name because she was one of the rudest people I've ever met....maybe she was compensating for her name...

Why do parents name their kids this??? Don't they realize that they will be the object of ridicule?? Were they on drugs or something???

Oh...I forgot to mention...there was a girl in school with me. I felt bad for her...her last name was something like...Hodedoe...Sounded like "Hoe d' doe." (meaning hold the door)!

This thread is hilarious. The cruelty parents can place on their children.

Thought I'd add mine. Back in 1981 in my first semester of college (William Paterson College in NJ - now a university), the president of the college's name was Seymor Hymen.

And around the corner from my house (actually right next door to Martha Stewart's childhood home), the home owners last name was Lisa. And what do you think they named their daughter MONA!

I have a cousin named Mercedes Binns, first and last name, my younger brothers middle name is Tovid( for Towana and David), and my name is Knekya (pronounced na-kee-uh). I had a boyfriend who named his daughter Alaze( pronounced al-uh-zay) after the drink, I have a cousin named Diamond, and Jewel, and I heard a woman at the park call her children whose names where Hypnotic, Champagne, and Tequila.

Took care of a baby this week named Zy-kerion.

In high school, I knew a guy named Richard Head. Guess what he was called?

As an adult, my favorite wacky baby name is: Quantawnadasia . Don't you love it? The girl who named her baby that had to ask, "Mamaaaaa!!! How we spell the baby's name?" and then it was a matter of debate.

I may have posted this one before. Many years ago (in the 1970s, I think--or maybe even the late 60s) we had a hippy couple who DID name their boy Justin Thyme!

My third grade teacher was Ms Heine. She was the best. She was also well endowed (from the rear).
