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 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.
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.
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...
Patient named Harold Butt (harry butt)....those cruel parents.
My brothers' name is Forrest Wood named after my dad, my grandfather middle name is Brick, thank God my mom did not name my brother Forrest Brick Wood
Sha' (say it shapostrophe)
Ta, (say it Tacoma)
I mean really?
A friend of a co worker had a baby and named him Diesel. Really? I know two dogs named Diesel.
Our dentist is Dr Gore. My husband has gone to him since he was a kid, so despite his odd last name, he's a good dentist.

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