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!

This was not a personal experience but my friend worked as an RN at a high risk Children's hospital and a mom named her son "Master of the Universe" (complete first name)....no lie!

The worst name I personally have ever heard was a beautiful little girl named "Nitzi"....sorry, made me think of lice:uhoh3:

Shetoya Montice (not sure of the spelling)- no kidding. Hank Williams Jr (Williams was not the last name and the Jr was part of the middle name I guess). Tequila Sunrise. A few Simbas around the lion-king time.

Had a mother and her name was Pinky.

I have to say that a new OB I worked with, who did her residency in Mississippi told me she had a patient with twins name them Lemonjollo & Orangejello as was mentioned earlier. That's what they offered her on the menu every day & she thought they were "cute" names for her girls. Even worse however, was the mother who named her baby girl Chlamydia becuase it was such a beautiful name....

I have a new one. A beautiful little girl, the youngest of several for this lovely couple and they have decided the last. All of the children are girls and dad had always envisioned having a child named after him. Yea, this is not going well, is it?

So they name the little girl after her daddy Ralph, her name is Ralphnie (Ralph-nee). Poor little girl.

My friend's name is Nicole. She named her son DomiNIC COLE (middle name). Creative.

No lie... Today we had a lady come in the pharmacy who named her 8th child (a girl) STRAWBERRY KIWI

I am not even making this up... She said she craved that flavor a lot while pregnant with the child.... hmmm I guess that makes sense.

My friend was telling me today in class that she was going through payroll where she works and saw someone named their kids Coca Cola and her sister Pepsi Cola.

:trout: Ken and Edie couldn't decide what to name their son so they named him Kenedie. I hoped it would be pronounced "Kennedy" but NOOOOOOO. It was Ken-E-dee! :nono:
