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!

After watching the abc news tonight, we are going to get a lot more babies named Nevaeh!

How about Charmin ?? Nothing like being named after d*m toliet paper!!!

A girl I know named her son after a liquor ( nice, huh?) I can't remember how to spell it..cavasier.

I don't know, she was 19 and drunk alot, probably how she wound up preggo.

When I firsted started in nursing we had a older set of twins that would come in their names were AC & DC. We asked what they stood for, and they said they had so many brothers and sisters that their parents ran out of names so the just named the AC & DC.

My name is Penny, hated it growing up. Was always being called nickel, dime, quarter. One night when I was out with my friends, all of a sudden they picked me up and tried to hand me to the cashier at the movie rental place. When the cashier looked shocked and I said what are you doing, one of them said. The sign says if you need a penny take one, if you don't leave one, we were just trying to leave one. The cashier then realized my name was Penny.

Also in LPN school my initials at the time was PM. So when I was charting my meds I would draw the line through my time and sign my initials 0800 PM. One of the instructors that was helping out with clinicals, began marking through my PM's and stated "We do not write the time down like that we use military time." She got have way down the MAR when I finially got her to realize that was my initials and then had to write error above all her slashes and write my initials again.

Margarita is the Spanish version of Margaret as well as what they call a daisy. When I was in college, the visiting baseball team (somewhere in PA) had a player named Joe Cuervo. We think Joe was a nickname.

A minor league baeball player named Terrific Wonderful Mons.:)

I saw a guy that had the first name of "Square" - I am not lying and it was a family name because he was "Square XXXXXX the 3rd".

What are some people thinking??? Anyway..I have to say the "oddest" named child I've actually cared for was Tequilla Rose.

I took care of a mom who let the dad name the baby Tequila Rose - when the OB was stitching up her episiotomy, he looked up at them and said "Why don't you just name her Cuervo and be done with it?"

my brother and his wife (hippies who live in British Columbia) named their baby girl Lily (a favourite aunt of ours) Pearl (our great-grandmother's name) Moonbeam (their pet name for the baby when she was in utero) - they just sent in the birth certificate registration with all of those names on it.......

On Labor and Delivery on TLC this week a mom named her baby Isabella Lugosi. She was of course going to call her Bella.

I like that name, maybe there is something with the last name that I don't get, but I like Isabella and Bella for a nickname. In fact we are going between Isabella (Bella) and Isabelle (Belle) if we ever have another girl.
