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!

Makes you want to hand out copies of "Hooked On Phonics" to all the new moms on your unit, doesn't it???

I heard the name Pepsi a few years ago this is not as bad as the name "Placenta" listed above but kind of a silly name still.

I've had several weird (awful) names over the years..... "A Miracle" (the 1st name was actually the letter A), Candidas, Areola, Gonorrhea (pronounced Ga-NOR-ea, the mom saw it on her chart & thought it looked pretty!) But one of the better ones I've heard was from a elementary teacher who was my patient. She'd had a student the previous year who's name was.... "La-a" Pronounced La-Dash-a. OK, I'll give her points for creativity, but REALLY!
