What's the weirdest baby name?

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!

I don't work in nursing yet but I met a girl who's name was comfort.

We had a girl come in named La-a.....but you had to say it literally as "la dash a"

Here's a comment made by a school teacher I know after hearing about this...

"That will be just wonderful for everyone that has to call her name out loud. I get some of these half/baked, 'creatively spelled' names when I have to do attendance. I also get A LOT of attitude from the child(ren) when I mispronounce it because I have read it as it is written. I hate the attitude! If they have been 'blessed' with the dumb name; they need to take it in stride or give the attitude to the ones that named them that.

"I have finally just taken to so saying, 'No, I didn't mispronounce it, someone misspelled it.' leaving the child to wonder if it was computer error on my page - when what I really mean is your dumb butt parents did this to you, so just deal with it." :lol2: :lol2:

Melena was the name for the special lucky girl. Even when I explained to the mother what it meant, she still insisted.

In the past year at our hospital, we have had two named "Pho Evah". For one baby it was her middle name with the first and last names being very common and not unusual. For the other baby, it was her first name.

Jeckles Star, I know I must have looked at that mother like she had 3 heads, and there was a long silence while I tried to figure out what to say

My girlfriend told me about a couple that named their kid "Blue" because that was the colour he was when he came out...

Oh, no!!!!
