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 l&d, but i was a teacher in my past life & me & my co- workers would always make fun of the names people would name their kids.

orangejello & lemonjello (twins) its sad to know that another poster have heard of these names for children hopefully they are the same children.

la-a very symbolic the childs name is pronounced la- dash-a

shitface i am not kidding pronounced shi- fo- see

genitalia

laviticus

king

i was very sad to see these kids names, especially since they were seeing me because they were below grade level reading. i wonder why :confused:

Years ago I worked in an pediatric out-patient/specialty clinic environment. I ran across some unusual names, but this one took the cake! One of our regular patients was Iwillariseandmeetjesusinthemorning (one word). Of course, the name she went by was Iwilla. I often wondered what became of this little girl!

I just googled that name, to see if she came up anywhere on the internet, and it came up with this post already. Google is FAST!!!!

Here in just a couple of years, any kindergarten in the nation will get responses from at least half the class by calling:

Jaden (Jayden, Jadyn, Jaedn, Jadn, Jaeden, Jaedan)

I don't dislike these names, I just don't think parents trying to be unusual realize how common they are.

You missed one... I personally know a boy named Jaden but spelled Jadden. His brother is named Justin but spelled Jesten.

In both cases the parents pronounce the name the way the "normal" spelling would be pronounced. I don't think they even realize that their sons, phonetically, should be called Jadd-Den and Jess-Ten. :banghead:

The other day we had a checker in Wally World who was a nice, but awkward young man who looked like he wasn't yet comfortable with his newly-tall (6'2" or 6'3") body. Very helpful and kind, but hunched over and jerky with his movements. He also had a strange kind of haircut that left him looking out between long, stringy bangs. I think his name would have been pronounced Jared, but it was spelled Jarred. As in given a good jolt. As in had his bell rung. As in stunned.

I said to dh that it was an unfortunate variation considering his rather shell-shocked appearance, and he agreed.

I get that people want to be original, but it doesn't always work out the way they planned.
