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!

our dog's registered name is about a foot long but his call name is "manfried mann" after the '60's rock singer but we call him "mannie" or "manwich." this a very small and rural area and by the time you've walked your dog a few times, everyone knows the dog's name. my husband came back from this morning's walk shaking his head. a woman stopped them and told him about her brand new grandson.

name ...?? manfried. yep. after you-know-who -- our wrinkly fur kid.

lyric- weirdest name.

I had one pt. name her baby "Dragon". The weirdest name I have ever encountered though is another employee at my hospital. His name is Baby Boy. Seriously. It was filed out that way on his birth certificate and they never changed it. Its on his name badge and everything!

There is a Slavic name, Dragan, that means "dear one." Maybe it was that name. Dragon is a variant spelling. And some folks hear Dragan and think it's Dragon and think that's cool.

I had a 45 yo patient a few months ago who was named "Herbert Parsley." He went by "Herb." Herb... Parsley....

As if that is not obviously terrible, we asked he and his mom if they got a lot of comments about his name while he was growing up. They looked at us like we were from mars. They had NO IDEA that the name was weird!!

Nicole Ritchie just named her son Sparrow James Midnight Madden.

Why would you name a BOY after a tiny little bird???

LOL, The pt was covered in Dragon tattoos, it was definately Dragon. BTW, I actually thought it was cool, but the weirdest name I have heard. :)
