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 knew two girls with funny names: Candi Green and Sandy Glass.
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.
This is an urban myth.
Shithead--- sorry but I actually had a couple from Iraq name their baby boy this (pronounced shee-THEAD)
This is also an urban myth, and very old.
Years ago, I had a client named Lemon Lime. His son was Lemon Lime, Jr.
Found this thread way late but I have a few additions. A urologist named Seth Pool and a pediatrician named Pandapotti. Coworker named Starr Blocker. A transporter named La Paree (Mom named him after the French restaurant she worked at). Had a patient many years ago named May Dye, and she did. I also know Pebble, Bam Bam, Doll, Flash, Twinkle, Synamyn, Sparkle, Taylin and, from college Archie Butt.
I knew I had the newspaper clipping with these names ("survived by" ie: children of the deceased, in an obit) and I have FINALLY found it! Enjoy!
* Understanding Knowledge Allah
* Queen Dezire Earth
* Understanding Born-King Allah
* Knowledge Savior Allah
---and----
* Victorious Love Earth
I believe the "Allah's" are male, and the "Earth's" are female.
What I wonder about most is . . . nicknames! Surely to goodness they aren't called by their full names all the time!
My guesses in the order of the names above are:
* Stan
* Dee
* Bo
* Ior (pronounced Eeyore)
* Vicky
What a cast of characters! How would you call them to dinner?
I went to high school with a girl named areola and a girl named lochia.
My classmate in college, her last name was areola
Someday, far in the future, we'll run across an "Ebola" and a "Zika" because someone thinks they are such cute names!

Arise, Lady?
Ariss-le-dee'?
tsk,tsk.
Still, I think the mother who named her daughter Benema should have had a high-velocity, high-impact cranial suppository inserted in the 'new one' between her eyes. Is that too hostile or violent?
The poor girl was always having to correct the pronunciation of almost everybody in her entire universe: "It's B'neem​-ah."
