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 about peed my pants laughing at this!!
Flatus, Placenta... I'm not kidding. Obviously these were horrible jokes on some poor, uneducated mother. "What are you going to name him/her?" "Gee, I can't think of a name for my baby." " Personally, I've always loved Flatus/Placenta." "Oh my, I love that! Flatus/Placenta it is!"

Her mom was a crack addict who thought it was funny. She told her daughter her father was so good at hitting that spot she kept going back to him until she got pregnant so she named her that. The poor girl went by CC but was planning to change her name as soon as she turned 18.
I used to help take care of a CLINToria once upon a time. that N was the only thing saving her from that one....
I recently saw a kid named Lyrica.
Have I mentioned Rubbin? They pronounced it Reubin
I have a very unusual first name which gets butchered all of the time. I wish my parents would have thought it out a little better! I do go by my middle name, to ease my pain...
I've definitely had a Savvy and I think the weirdest I ever saw was....

Here we come, ladies and gentlemen...
today I heard a birth announcement for some poor baby (apparently) boy to be named Tyrion Lannister King.
AFAIK, there is a whole list of weird and worse names in that not-yet-finished TV saga, plenty for everyone to pick and choose from.
