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 was the only black female in my time that was named Luna. And I was teased alot (lunar,lunatic):lol_hitti

holy crow - I don't know the doc from India but I live in N Mich and know the doc who named her kids after 'taters (actually, I know her sister but my husband knew the doc in high school) - I never realized the significance of those names!! her parents' farm also grows strawberries (yummy ones at that) - I'm surprised that one of them didn't end up with that name......

Too funny.

Last night at work (postpartum), I asked a mom if she had named her baby yet. She said yes and told me the name. I asked her how to spell it and she said, "He's a junior," whereupon she called over to the child's father who was lying on the fold-out futon and said, "How do you spell your name again?" The future may not bode well for this wee one.

Slighty off topic, I know!!!

Mrs Hubble nicknamed The Bubble because she was quite overweight. Not to her hearing of course!

At work we would say "Miss Hitchcock is being a Witchcock or a B**chcock", depending on what mood she was in that day.

Sarah-Louise Angela G______ really did live up to her name. Don't get it? Look at initials!!!

And finally, I have worked with a nurse named Cleaner!! Now how do people come up with a name like that. BTW, She is from Africa so may be it means something else where she's from so apologies if I offend anyone.
