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.

Felony and Exstasy are the two weirdest (and cruelest) names I have heard so far.

Hard to believe these names. Are they verified or jokes?

What if a last name is covid?

Question: does anyone know if the Department of Vital Statistics screens names prior to actually issuing the birth certificate? I never tested it with my kids, but if a parent puts something vulgar or insane on a birth certificate application, would it go through? If they do, is that why nurses might report some of these names, but no one has seen them in real life?

I know my state screens the applications for personalized car license plates, and you can't have things like vulgarities on them. I hope they at least do that for children...

So as a nurse in L&D I quite often get patients and family members who ask about the weirdest names I’ve ever heard/seen.. is discussing this with them a HIPAA violation? Obviously no other information is shared, but I’m just curious where this falls when it comes to HIPAA.

I doubt it's HIPAA. But you never know. Ask your facility's HIPAA Officer.
