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!

First post, couldn't resist.

Teenage girl who couldn't wait to get a smoking passed named her barely 5 pounder daughter "Onlee". I asked her what the named meant and she said "She's my one and only". Yikes!

I didnt hear it myself but according to one of the Lab girls she worked in another hospital and one of the medicaid mommas was delivering her second baby. She named that baby Vulva and her oldest daughter had been named Urethra. I was surprised that you can even be allowed to name a baby such things but I guess people do. Poor baby!

I had a great, great, great... relative that was named America Meadows.

I have a friend (a sort of wilted flower child) who named her baby Nova. Kind of exciting to be named for an exploding star.

Better an exploding star than a '70s Chevy :wink2:

Working in Pharmacy I have seen many strange names....

My sister-in-law's name is Princess. It is extremely irritating to explain to others that is her real name and not a nickname :smackingf

There is a nurse in my local area named Princess. I've talked with her on the phone a couple of times, it's a bit odd to call someone that but I'd never comment. I'm sure she's spent her life hearing comments on her name!

I went to nursing school with a Queen Esther. She went by "Queenie." After a while you do get used to it.

Coyote! The mom had a really interesting first name as well. (I don't think I should say it since it is very unique and I don't want to violate HIPAA).

What do you think about names like : Mercedesa , Shinning and ....... Recipe ??? They are all girls names !!!! Wonder what their mother ( Mercedesa ) had in mind at the time she has chosen those names . :rolleyes:
