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!

Former governor of Texas James Hogg DID actually name his daughter Ima. You can look this up for yourself! I am just happy that he didn't have a second daughter....

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: OMG!!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??!!!?? That poor girl.......

Had a friend named Merry in college - she married a gentleman by the name of Eduard Dick ... All y'all have fun with that one!

My grandmother's name is Mary Prairie (Merry prairie). I never thought anything of it, but people always giggle when I tell them her name.

Have a friend who named her daughter Hanna and her last name's Gram. hannagram - I think that's terrible. My daughter has a friend in 4th grade named January, last name Waters - I like that. I also like Lyric - different but pretty. There are way too many Jacks and Madisons right now. I think something a little different is ok as long as it's not weird. Just my 2 cents.

The last name of the OB who delivered my last baby was Payne. One of the forms stated "delivered by Payne".

These are ones I know of personally:

Orangejello and Lemonjello (yes were twins and this wasn't a hoax)

Precious

Hope, Charity, & Faith (were sisters)

Sunset

Robin Hood

Winnie (Winifred) (my great aunts name--guess that was popular back then)

Go figure!

There are times when even I, have to pause and thank God that I didn't do similar damage in naming my child.....Although I DID have a Christopher on Columbus day...(lost complete track of time)....That was his name beFORE labor took all timing and logic away from me....:)

OBGYN for my hospital: Dr. Box :D

:rolleyes: :uhoh3: I think the strangest name I ever had a patient name her baby was Charity-----especially since her last name was Ward. I don't know what she was thinking!!!!
