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!

The most bizarre name I've encountered so far was the name Aejeh (pronounced AJ).. The poor kid is always going to have to spell his name because people will think it's AJ (like it should be!)

How about "conception"

Well, if it's Spanish (Kon-sep-see-own) it's not so odd. I wonder how she pronounced it?

She is not Spanish, she is a white girl and she says it exactly how you would say "conception".

I saw in the newspaper that a local couple named their son Jericho. I wonder what their favorite TV show is?

Then I agree--that's weird!

That brings up another topic--pronunciation. I once knew a girl named Mercedes--pronounced MER-se-dees

Mom was walking happily downtown when her water brokes... brought to our unit, we hear twins are on their way.

A lovely baby boy is born moments later

:nurse: : "So Mrs XXXXX, what´s his name?"

Mommy : what´s spider man name???

:nurse:: Peter Parker?

Mommy: yeah! Peter Parker, I love you my sweet baby...

25 minutes later

Doc: It´s a girl!

:nurse:; What´s her name?

Mommy: What´s the redhead in Spider Man movie name?

Moi: ..............................

Doc: Mary Jane?

Mom: Thanks doc!

yes, Peter Parker and Mary Jane are now bro and sis. At least in this family:D

I once heard of a mom who named her child Nosmoking.....said it was the last thing she saw before her c/s. I also had a teen mom who named her child Margarita......(sad). I learned from many years working with new parents how to keep a straight face.

i think margarita is a spanish name, a cousin of mine has that as her middle name. that is, unless the mom actually did name her after the drink.. call social services :crying2:

We've had a few lately......

Silver Moon (his mother was smokin' a little more than Menthols- IMHO!

Cillian (also a boy, pronounced Kil-ee- un) with twin brother Garret.

Years ago, my father had a customer named Homer Queer- that's the God's honest truth!

And, always my favorite- a friend of my mother's is Mary Sowerbutts- everyone calls her Mrs. Bitterbottom!!! LOL:lol2:

In my OB clinical rotation, I had a patient who already had a daughter named "Diabolique" and was naming her new baby "Keviana"......it was hard to keep a straight face. Poor children.
