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.
Just FYI - there's a couple past postings here on AN with a gazillion hysterical & unusual names. You can spend quite some time just laughing about some of those names and then you might want to scrape your jaw up off the floor after you read some of the bizarre ones.But to add my own - a home care pt that I visited was named NAVY. He had 2 brothers named ARMY and MARINE.
I actually LIKE those. LOL
Here's a whole list of names, with pictures. :)

I just saw this today as a pt...
A urology practice in a town I used to drive through had the best sign ever;
Urology Associates, Doctors Long, Black, and Stiff. Sadly, Dr. Long has moved on and it's no longer as amusing:(
As a cashier many years ago, I was handed a check from Mr. Dick Felatio(one L short, but you get the idea)-he said "Don't laugh" as he handed it to me...
I know a couple who have 2 daughters: Kai (pronounce with a long I) and their oldest is Kailey (pronounced Kay-lee). They get SOOO angry when someone says Ka-I-lee instead
Know a kid named John Andrew, mom freaked out when I said I was calling about John, because his name is Jack, but, you know, not really or legally. Sorry that I did not know your child's name was actually something other than what you named your child...
While doing my NICU rotation I encountered:
Special K -yep, like the drug or maybe the cereal?
JD and DJ- twin girls, no meaning, not short for anything just letters
Her-high'ness
And my parents thought my children's Irish names were strange
A couple of twin girls. Their names? La-a and La/a. Pronounced "la-dash-a" and "la-slash-a".
Really?! How do you fill out a scantron? Pretty sure there are no punctuation options to bubble in.
I went to high school with a David Daves (who went by Dave) and a Russell Brown... who went by Rusty.
One of my college professors was William A. Williams, and a popular TV announcer where I lived for many years was Bill (one assumes also William) Williams.
When I worked neonatal, we had a baby girl come through named Chivas Aspen. Someone joked that perhaps those were the circumstances of her conception. Then there were the two daughters born to the same couple about 18 months apart, Camry Pearl and Castle Estelle.
