What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

Nurses Humor Nursing Q/A

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.

I knew a Justin Kace Lastname in college...It was 3 months before I realized his name was a pun...and his email sig included his full name so I saw it almost every day for a while...when it finally hit me, I felt really really stupid!

TN Judge orders baby's name be changed from 'Messiah'

"The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ," Judge Ballew said.

From the Tennessean today!

Personally I think naming a kid "Messiah" is misguided at best, downright stupid at worst; but regardless, the judge is waaay outta bounds changing it. Haven't read the story, though... I believe reading/watching the news in Tennessee lowers one's IQ...

Maybe they'll change it to LemonJello...

There was some big hooey-hoo not too long ago about some kid being named Hitler. His siblings also had controversial names. I think the courts were involved also.

You mean...Jèsus (HAY-seuss)?? :)

I went to elementary school in my hometown with TWO Jèsus(es) before I moved to the East coast...I haven't encountered that many Mohammeds, though...

Girl: Raven

That actually isn't a bad name, but I would be the jerk who always comments "that is SO Raven" whenever she does anything.

I have not run across any strange baby names professionally, but in the third grade, I had PE with a girl named Velveeta. She was picked on a lot because of the name, but I found it interesting. That may be due to my love of all things cheesy. I also grew up with a girl named Tinker. I thought it was cute and fit her. I also had a cashier at the Kroger named Alibi. I have a common name, but it's spelled differently. There are two "f"s instead of a "ph". My name is pretty much spelled phonetically, but you'd think it was written in Sanskrit when people look at me funny and try to read it. I guess they don't realize that "ff" and "ph" make the same sound. Oh well.:)

I once had a patient who did not know she was pregnant and gave birth very early in a Dunkin donuts. She didn't have a name for the baby so we suggested Dee-Dee since she had the baby in Dunkin. She went with it. Not such an unusual baby name, but an interesting story nonetheless. :)
