What's the weirdest baby name?

Specialties Ob/Gyn Nursing Q/A

Hi, I was wondering about some of those weird names that you've probably encountered in L&D and PP. I remember when I had my maternity rotation a couple of weeks ago, one of the nurses said she remembers a patient that named her child Placenta. I couldn't believe it that some child has to live his life named after disgusting afterbirth!

Oh, and I forgot about an asian guy in my high school. His family moved into town and registered him for school. My mom was working in the office and asked how to spell the boy's name. In trying to do a direct translation to English, they wanted to spell it You Suk. My mom actually talked them into spelling it Kyu Sok, which was just enough different that he never really had much trouble that I know of. Whew!

I just sent Dolla' Bill home. Nice. I hate the stripper names too. In our NICU I was taking care of Pheonix, Starlight, and Princess. The Mediao trio.

I went to school with a girl named Rainbow and one who's name was Muffin.

did we really go to school together ?

I know a Harry Root and a Wood Byrnes.

I've known several girls named Cinnamon, but the one that takes the cake (heehee) was my daughter's teacher a few years ago. Her full name was Cinnamon Crisp. It took me most of the year to be able to think about it without a giggle.

Also when I was young we lived upstairs from a woman named Baby. It was funny to hear my dad come home, say "Hi, Baby", then come upstairs and say the same thing to me. :lol2:

Was Crisp her married name? That's a good one!!!

How about Harry Butz?! My aunt used to tell a story of Harry taking some women-friends to church with him and the pastor asking "the women with Harry Butz" to stand up so that they congregation could extend a welcome to them. Dear Lord! Literally!

Nope, she was single. Her parents actually did that to her on purpose.

One wacky one I heard was Pickles!

How 'bout Suga Free? Also had a Tiger Lily, wacky but cute.

Harley and Davidson!
