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!

We had a patient in my office named Bichi Nguyen pronounced [i swear] "****** When". And it didn't have to do with first names but was funny, we saw a family of Sipps in the morning and Cupps in the afternoon. And I went to high school with a Tella Graham and a Cherry Wood. My mom knew a girl named "Teflon" because her momma loved Teflon when it came out [my mom is almost 60].

The newborn I am taking care of tonight is Velvet Violet. :) could be worse....

Are you saying the name Les Paul is weird or that it's weird to name a baby after him?

I have formulated a set of rules I wish we could get legislated.

#1 If the child will never be able to say or spell the name.

#2 If the child will never be able to pronounce the name.

#3 If it will get them beat up at school.

#4 If it is just plain stupid.

Then we will assign you a name for your baby.

NOW that is good legislation! :yeah:

LOLOLLOLOLOL. Miranda, check the age on that poster.....dollars to donuts she/he hasnt a clue....lol

I went to school with a boy named Dartagnian. (SP??)

The names Margarita and Montserrat are both Hispanic names that are normal in their culture. Margarita isn't only an alcoholic drink. LOL. ;)

D'Artagnan was one of the Three Musketeers. When I was growing up in Des Moines, there was a prominent local musician named Dartanyan Brown, which is how that name is pronounced.

I ran into one yesterday--Naexavious Rrhonan :uhoh3: He's 8yrs old. I can't imagine how long it took him to learn to spell it. And I know of an Antoineisha. Unfortunately, she has Down Syndrome and has never learned to spell her name, although she knows her letters and numbers. After the capital A, she's lost.:mad:

At my school I have

Amiricul Uneeque(pronounce a-miracle unique)

Precious Unique

Precious Lake

Miracle Unique

Uniqiue Princess

I'm guessing Uneeque/Unique/Uniqiue aren't as You-neek as they thought.:lol2:

Hmm, I have seen two kids with the names Blue and Harvest....Last name?? You guessed it! Moon!

Recently one named Leaf crossed my path...

I helped in a delivery of a woman with the married name Candy Corn. She named her children Cobb and Paul(nicknamed him Pop). I wanted to slap her.
