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.

Was introduced to a patient's grandson "Bud-da".( Like butter but spelled Budda) The patient explained that as a baby his grandson sat up and had a round little belly like the oriental statue - Budda - "Boo-da". I choked for an hour until I could get to my car and laugh.

About 20 years ago, I met my babysitter's friend, "Moonyen" (pronounced like "moon-yen"). Yes, her parents were hippies. The amazing thing to me is that she kept it as an adult. She wanted to be original. No fear there! I think her parents took a page from Frank Zappa's book of baby names. Even 50+ years after they were born, I think he's topped the charts with the names "Dweezle" and "Moon Unit."

Worked maternity for five years..a few names that stick out.. Strawberry Sunshine, Hollywood Christmas, Natas(Satan backwards..parents were Satan worshipers), Olive Oil, Twilight Dawn one more...Diamond Sparkle!!! Can't make this stuff up!!

I met a little girl the other day in the neighborhood named: Asylum

I also know a boy named Lyrics

And a girl named Corelle

I went to school with Tangerine Found out later it was a song. Apple isn't odd when you think Olive was a popular name.My oddest newborns were Shadow Star(female) & Angel Jack Daniels (female) Never occurred to us in school,our classmate was Richard Smalley (called of course Dick) & April Showers whose father had her baptized in hospital while Mom was in ICU from excess bleedind

Raven was the real name of Bill Cosby youngest daughter on his old TV show

Some oddball names in an obit in today's paper.

Herman Lee ____ Jr. died

His eldest son is named Herman WALTER, II

Second son is named Herman MARSHALL (after Grandpa)

His sisters names are:

Betty

Babe

Bouncy (not just a nickname:wacky:)

Poor Herman didn't die, or shuffle off his mortal coil. Oh no. "Herman Lee ___ is now walking with his Lord along the celestial shores of heaven as he contemplates his eternal life with Jesus."

Please! When I die, just say that! Or how about I croaked, shuffled off this moral coil, kicked the bucket..." I'll be dead and I won't care.

This makes me think of the movie "Where the Heart Is" where she names her kids after what she was craving during pregnancy. "Baby Ruth" "Cherry" "Praline" and "Brownie" Haha

I once knew a kid whose last name was Butz, whose parents named him Richard Jr. after his father. Since his father had already claimed the nickname "Rick" he had to go by one of the more common nicknames for Richard. At least they had the decency to not saddle him with my first name! :)

Abcde, pronounced Ab-si-dee.

I worked at a pediatric dental office before nursing school... these are some of the best I can remember:

First, middle, last name: Winter Cashmere Coats (I swear to Jesus, I could not make that up!)

A family of four: Sequoia, Camry, Solara, Avalon (All Toyota vehicles. Funny enough, the Mom drove a Chevy!)

JTPrincess. Dad's name started with a J, Mom's with a T.

I also know of a girl I went to high school with who just named her baby girl AnaLyse (she spells/capitalizes it this way) Anal... her daughter's name starts with Anal. Bless this poor child's heart!
