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!

Zigmont...no doubt he will be called Ziggy someday:)

Forgot about a kiddo we had on peds mother had scalded her buttocks are you ready her name was Rosie Arce

Aja- sounds like Asia

I work with a woman whose 21 year old daughter is named Aja. I thought it was one of a kind...guess not!

I know of someone who was named Margarita Vaca...sounds like her parents had a few to drink when she was conceived, huh?

I was looking at the babies on the hospital website lastnight - they're all so adorable. Here are some names I came across

Princess Porshay Tierra

Heiress Chloriss

Chasity Deanne and Kasity Leanne (twins)

Summer Sage

Mary Margaret Virginia (sounds like a nun in waiting. nothing wrong with any of these 3 names...but together?)

Talula Reign

Willow Jai

Avyn Kishore

Deandra Rockell & Deondre Deshawn (twin girls)

Honor Virginia

Jack Jackson (that's wrong, just wrong)

Filmon Tewolde Tekle

That's all for now...time to get ready for work!

OK here goes:

Big Daddy-- first & last.

Illiterate mom wanted biblical names for her twins, and she picked them all righty: Sodom & Gomorrah

I've seen some strange ones, and I remember one pt's that I had to practice saying with a straight face before I could go in there. Mercifully, I've forgotten it. :chuckle

We had a pt in the ER, a child named Malik Butts. I know they pronouce it May Leek (like what, their diaper???), but it looks like May Lick Butts!!! We also have a big white male pt named Tiny O'Rear!! Well, tiny, it is NOT!!

Aja very common name among the black population were I live their newest is Ashanti after a rap singer

A co-worker had a daughter named Larkin Skye

I work in a pediaric hospital and I have seen and heard quite a few things, the first patient I ever took care of was named Tequilla Sunshine, and I also took care of a set of twins named Butch and Cassidy.

What were these parents thinking. Then again obviously they were not.

from years ago, when I worked as a lab clerk, a gentleman named "Green Lumpkins"

One of my co-workers swears they went to school with a Harold Richard Head. I don't think I need to point out the nickname possibilities.

TRUE STORY : My brother and his wife named their child "Richard Edward"!!! We couldn't believe it when we heard, and they got really upset when we (politely, of course) pointed out to them that they maybe should have put a little more thought into that one!
