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!

He was named after family.

and one lady had named her daugher this. first, look how it is spelled.

lee-a

i thought it was something like leah or the likes until the lady yelled at someone saying, "its ledasha" ....why?

Slightly off topic, but I think its funny how some boy names morph into being girl names, and then people think the guys with that name have been shortchanged?

Shirley and Sherill (Cheryl) and Carroll were all boy names years ago. As are/were Tracy, Stacy and Leslie. As well as Ashley and Brook - it freaks my kids out that I have two uncles named Brook (no E on the end).

And is it my imagination that Chris/Kris for a boy is fading out?

Avery is another one girls are hijacking! And now I'm saying girls named Aydan which is a cutsie way to spell Aidan.. no boys name is safe.;)

Iwanna and Ice Tea seriously i almost laughed in the peoples faces when i asked them to spell it. Its pretty sad when someone has no common sense. I mean Iwanna and Ice tea are ok nicknames but its pretty igorant when its your legal given name.

My dad is Stacy and most folks think it is a woman when seeing it in print and can't figure out why Jr. is at the end, lol.

I thought the "ABCDE" name was a myth, but a co-worker told me that a mom on our unit actually did name her child "Abcde" (Ab-se-duh) and could name the room she was in. A recent baby was named Belldandy Lunamoon...seriously...

I had a patient who was essentially illiterate. When the records office came to the patients room to fill out the birth certificate they asked what she wanted to name her baby girl. The patient said she was all ready named. What asked the records person. The nurse named her. I saw the paper. The patient named the baby "lady parts Female." And, pronounced it "Vageena Feemallee." She wouldn't change the name. Some girl, now a woman, is stuck with that name.

2. A Girl....Ms. Keisha (so when she get married she'll be "Mrs. Ms. Keisha!)

3. Boy....Sheat

4. Boy...Vjay

5. Boy..cumner...what were they thinking?....Can you hear it, Mom yelling out the door..."Cumner...come here now!" ...

Tis all I can remember....
