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!

This is all from the same family; "Cain Candy" "Jesus Lord" "Heavenlee Grace". Poor Babies!

I'm sorry but those two above are just too sad for the kids, especially, dry mix!! It's a baby not some cat food.

Anyways one of my closest friends' cousin is named Jewelry. Yes, like the jewelry you wear. ;)

This young girl was filling out a form where you have to put front, middle, and last name. I looked at it, it said Harley okay not that bad. But her middle name was Girl :imbar.

I heard on the news a couple of years ago that there were a lot of ESPN's born (pronounced "espen"). As for "Dry Mix," the Dry was after his grandfather, and the Mix was his mother's maiden name. Sad choices, I agree!

Where are you located at??? Mars?

:yeah::loveya:

There was an obituary in my local paper today, and someone had a grandchild named Zildjian.

The middle name made me think this is a girl. You don't suppose she has a parent who's a drummer, do you?

These are great! Haven't had a chance to read through all of them, so this may be a repeat.

Opened a bank acct for a girl name 'Tequila' (was on her SS card!), and she told me her brothers name was 'Jim Dean'. Nice...

Went to school with a boy named 'Easy'. He said his Mom said he was her 6th child and he was the easiest to deliver.
