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.

There is a doctor at the nursing home I work at named Dr.Bitchen.

A 4th grade teacher at my school growing up was Mrs. Blitch.

Yeah.

My husband's elementary school (I forget which grade) was Mrs. Yertle, so all the kids called her Mrs. Yertle the turtle.:roflmao: :bag: :sorry:

I used to work in L&D. We had an African American patient who had birthed twin girls. I asked if she had chosen names for her babies and she said, "No, name them for me..." So, I named twin "A" Alexis and twin "B" Bethany. She kept the names and I praised her for naming them something they'll be able to spell before high school!

In the same unit, a new mother told me her baby's name. I asked, "How do you spell that?" She replied, with a straight face, "I don't know. How would you spell it?" I said, "I wouldn't spell it because it would never occur to me to name my baby that." I think she finally chose Marcus! Thank goodness!

I have one but its more sad then funny...a woman from a tribe in the Amazon gave birth to a baby girl she spoke a language no one understood and very little Spanish .

The baby had that little wrist ban that said female on it and she assumed that that was the baby's name she actually thought she didn't have a say in the baby's name so female went on the birth certifacte as the baby's name

What I don't get is why didn't one of the nurses or anybody step in and say no that's not a name or atleast put the moms name as the baby's name its really sad all because she doesn't understand the language or culture

It turned into a big deal but no one did anything about it and life went on....

Not the actual name but the spelling of it.

Dwain.:no:

I've bought craft stuff from DS Smith for years on a popular online auction site and the seller has always signed DS Smith. Yesterday's package was signed Dwain. Dwain?? :roflmao: As in "Dwain the bathtub. I'm dwouning?!" :sarcastic: :scrying: I know... I know... sometimes I'm still nine!

I may have mentioned this already and I'm too tired/lazy to go and see if I can find out if I actually did.....once I heard of a patient who named her baby girl "lady parts" and pronounced it "vageena". Poor child......

My 2 absolute favorites.....La-a (pronounced Ladasha) and Abcde (pronounced absidy). No...I am not joking....I couldn't make this up if I tried!

My cousin is a social worker in a large city that isn't in the south but borders the south and has very

Southern feel sometimes. A woman in her twenties, from the neighboring hill country was put on bed rest in the hospital while pregnant with twins. She didn't have electricity or indoor plumbing at home.

She loved watching TV and watched the PBS series Victoria Regina with rapt attention.

When her baby girls arrived a few weeks later, she named them Regina (pronounced Regeena) and

lady parts (pronounced Vageena) which absolutely no one could talk her out of. :bag: She was required by the state to change little lady parts's name spelling to the way it was pronounced, but still... AACCKK!

I've wondered who baby Vageena finally grew up to be. Poor kid!

Honestly I don't believe anyone is named shithead, la-a, lemonjello, orangejello, female, abcde. Let's not post the same urban legends over and over again like the other thread.

My cousin is a school principal. A very proper lady and she said she has had a student named shithead poor kid.

I used to work in pathology before I became a nursing student. We had some bloodwork on a set of newborn twins named "orangejello" and "lemonjello". I didn't believe it at first and made the tech show me the vials. Sure enough....

Supposedly, they were pronounced "or-AHN-gelo" and "leh-MON-gelo".

Poor babies.

I once read of a family of boys named Ringo Starr, Mickjagger and Elvis.

In RL, my brother knows a girl named Tequila.

Specializes in L&D Endo Pre-Op.

I worked in L&D for 12 years, and have seen some very interesting names! I have personally taken care of at least 3 Tequilas, a Hennasey, and a Tangaray(spelled that way). One lady named her baby girl Lyrica (pronounced Lie-reeka) because she saw the pen for the drug Lyrica that a drug rep had given me!

Much love,

Alysia
