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.

Don't know if this has been said already but:

La-ah

It’s not quite as unusual as doing it to your children, but I’ve seen some funny ones with my vet patients.

Batboy- black cat. I actually love this one. Also, there are currently lost pet posters in my neighborhood for a cat named Batman.

Marshmallow- my white longhair male cat. He was named before we got him by a 7 year old girl, but I still find it funny since he’s a big-boned, “masculine” looking cat who just happens to be very fuzzy.

Sweet Lips- small breed, spoiled dog. This might me the weirdest I’ve seen. It just sounds… wrong. :cautious:

I hope that's a joke! lol

Some members of my husbands family have interesting names

Smartest (girl)

Beauty (girl)

King

Present

Moon glow

these are the English translations of their name. I often wonder why in english we have "names" in the traditional sense and not called by our position or descriptive words like in other cultures?

Western culture uses traditional western names, however many folks have nicknames which are usually very descriptive of them as an individual.

Pachants pronounced like "Patience." If only autocorrect existed in the 90's... Could have saved that poor girl a life time of confusion.

I just recently read about a small boy called "Geezer". Geezer in the UK is used to mean "Fellow" or "Man", eg: "The geezer in the shop gave me a discount". Hard to explain unless you know the context Geezer is used in, but it's a weird name!

Notorious

Went to school with a "Money", who robbed a McDonalds.

The worst is when I'm in triage, and butcher the names when calling them out, and the parents look at me like I'm the stupid one.

Espen, it was going to just be Espn (after the tv station) but thankfully the e was added to make it normal-ish, but knowing the inspiration for the name makes it odd.

Also, some brothers in the town I grew up in.... Ryan Caveman and Atom Molecule

Ohhh... I remembered another... My dad taught a guy named Broc Lee.

Specializes in Hospice.

We had a GI doctor named Duden Puti. What else was he supposed to do but GI? I went to a dentist once whose name was Holler. :roflmao:

I never got all the way through the older threads, but I remember posts from 2003-2005ish saying how weird Nevaeh was . . . well now I have 4 students named Nevaeh in an elementary school of only 500!

Also saw a baby boy named Bear. And if he takes after his father, he's going to be a very tall, hairy man...
