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.

My friend is a recent PA grad and when she did her clinical rotation at the county hospital she had a patient that wrote down "La-a". When she asked how to pronounce her name, the patient said " La-dash-uh"!! I seriously DIED laughing!

Another one is friend of mine. She's been called Kara all 23 years of her life, but when she went to get her birth certificate at 18, she found out her parents never registered her name, so legally she was"baby girl". Apparently not an uncommon occurrence around here

My mother was told she was having triplets. My parents picked three boy names without any problem.

They chose George and James after the grandfathers and Phillip, which was also a family name. But girl names? Nope! They just could NOT agree on even one. Time passed. We were born. Two boys and me. The boys didn't survive. I did, but had no name.

I finally went home with an unregistered birth certificate that said "Baby Girl ___." Two weeks later, which was he deadline my parents were given, they finally agreed on a name. Katherine (which had been my great grandmother's name) plus my mom's maiden name for my middle name.

I needed a copy of my birth certificate years later, and the state sent me the "baby girl" one by mistake.

A little bit regarding of what happens with bearers of unusual foreign names later on...

In my former country, the female name "Milena" was not too rare and meant "the darling one". The problem is, in the process of immigration names can be misspelled and such mistakes are impossibly difficult to correct. So, one of my friends lived her first 5 or 6 American years as "Melena", and her job in surgical residency program didn't make it any easier. For the same reason bearers of Russian male name "Valeriy" are advised to change it, because it easily misspelled as "Valeri" (female).

Worked with several ladies named "Latrina". One was hurt through her heart after, while traveling Europe, she suddenly found out what her name really means.

Highly esteemed professor in my husband's area has Romanian female name which sounds as sexual obscenity in Russian. Eventually, she developed a professional call-name to avoid "accidents".

Just in... our best CNA, a bright girl admitted to the BSN program, called late. The day after her 18th birthday she came to courthouse to fill paperwork to change her first name. Currently Shytzilla, wants to be Mary Ann.

When she at last made it, she told that a clerk asked her to fill "reason for name change". She wrote that everybody from her own mom to patients she's caring for, name her ******, for short, and she doesn't like it. Clerk pointed out that, by her opinion, it was not good enough for a reason. She suggested "misspelling problems" and poor girl had to re-do the whole thing.

I came across a woman named Iwana Bone, I mean seriously I hope Bone was her last name. If not her parents were really mean.

A pair of fourteen year old twins share the lawn care and mowing now that their big brother who had done it went off to college.

When I was in nursing school I had a couple name their baby boy Cash Money and then the family's last name.

[taigarn0825, ASN, RN]

One of my great-uncles was named R. V. ____. That's it. The "initials" don't represent anything. His son is Rve (no middle name) ____. Both names are pronounced the same way, "R. V.," but the son is not a junior. All of R. V.'s siblings have "regular" family names. Nobody knows why his parents only gave him initials.

So, I just came across this! How fun, well maybe not for the people who have to live with these crazy names! Here are mine:

- My mom told me about a lady who named her daughter Placenta

- I know a little girl named "Mystic Purple Haze" Yes her parents were in a haze!
