What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

As many of you know by now, Kim Kardashian had her baby. As if you couldn't miss all the annoying coverage over every single detail. They named that poor kid North West. What are some of the funniest/weirdest/most unusual baby names you have seen? Could be a patient or someone you know in your personal life. And if you are someone with one of those odd names did you just learn to live with it or would you change it.

Worked in an ER with great names 20-30 years ago. These are real, not made up. Honest!! This was pre-HIPAA and we had a book that we loaded with unusual or weird patient's names' stickers. The two sets that I remember the best are two sets of twins:

Male and Female (pronounced Mo'lle and Femo'lle) and Syphilis and Gonorrhea (pronounced Syphi'lis and Gonor'rhea).

Chlamydia - Almost non-English speaking mom that thought it was pretty. We just couldn't convince her differently.

My own first name. Makishala. It's pronounced Muh-key-shluh, but I always get Mack-ee-shah-lahh, Muh-rish-kuh-luh, etc. I hate it, thankfully my middle name is normal so I can go by that.

Brothers....Tupocalypse and Makavelli. Moms was loving some Tupac!!

Maybe you like being inundated with ridiculous repetition of urban legends, but I think there's enough who don't that it's worth saying. There's ALOT of funny stuff that's true without mucking it up!

But thanks for playing ;)

I'm starting to find the ubiquitousness of people who have personally worked with oranjello and lemonjello hilarious. They must be awfully medically complicated for so many people to have dealt with them! And in court too! Those two are sure a busy pair.

Yah, interesting, isn't it? My.

And Google searches reveal only countless threads on message boards (mostly baby-naming sites, no wonder!) of people looking for some proof that people with these names actually exist. And NONE is ever offered, or found.

You can bet your bottom dollar if there were EVER people named as the legendary "Jello Twins", they'd have a news article written about them, SOMETHING that would be found during the literally DECADES people have been searching for such proof.

And if these supposed twins were actually criminally active? Why gosh, that'd be EASY to locate!

Not breaking HIPAA here, b/c I didn't care for these children. These are all actual babies who were actually named these, as published (with parental permission) on my local hospitals' nursery websites a few years ago.

This is a compilation of unusual names I gathered from less than six months' worth of births, too, and only from two local hospitals. Also, there are no last names here, so when you see a really long name, keep in mind that you need to add "Smith" or "Jones" or "Johnson" or "Washington" or "Frederickson" or some other last name to fill it out. Some of these kids probably spent most of kindergarten, first, and second grades just trying to memorize how to write their own names!

Also, where it says "baby boy" or "baby girl" at the beginning, that is not part of their name -- that is just my own notation that I started making as I compiled the list, since it's not always evident from the name whether the child is male or female.

Holy moley! That's quite a mouthful!

I couldn't pronounce most of the names from Brillohead...

I know a N'chelle (Like Michelle, but with an N) She hated the name growing up but now loves it.

I have an Uncle Kelly and an Uncle Ashley and I've always thought that was weird. My name is Randi, so there's kind of a theme of names opposite of the usual gender it's used for.

I know a Princess and a Beauty.

I had a server named Bubbles and another named Pun'kin (I'm hoping they were nicknames that a manager let them put on a name tag)

I know a Sioanna (pronounced Shannon) She says it's Gaelic and she loves it. I like it too.

I was thinking of some good one while reading the comments, but of course I go blank when I start to post a comment.

As an L&D nurse I've gotten to see a lot of naming going on. The interesting ones that I remember off the top of my head are:

Royal

Princess

Areola

Kal-El

(that is Superman's original Krypton name. Her other children are named more "normal" names. When asked why she picked such a far-out name, she said well, we're planning for him to be our last, so we just said screw it let's name him something awesome!)

the best name that I've heard lately is "Valentina." I think it's elegant.

Actually Female is not an urban legend, my mother worked peds in a hospital and took care of one.

I went to school with one , she pronounced her name fe-ma-lee.
