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!

Saw a newborn little boy recently named Tuff T. Sounds like he should be in that new A-Team movie.

Of all the possible combinations, how do some of these parents come up with this stuff. I don't think I am giving enough credit to the imagination (and lack of) of these people. And there are plenty of crazy names that mom and dad, or mom and gramma, both agree on.

Lochia--even worse than the Placenta (at least that is life sustaining, while it's around).....................

Please tell me that's a horrible joke....did the parents at least know what this meant?

"La-a" was the name and it was pronounced la-dash-a. Yeah that's right. The "dash" is not silent.

This is from the 'instructions on completing a birth certificate' in Texas:

"1. Child's Name

First Name: Enter the infant's first name. If the parents have not selected a given name for the

infant, enter "Infant." Do not enter the last name of the mother as the child's first name. Do not leave

this item blank.

Middle Name: Enter the infant's middle name, and any names other than First and Last. If there is no

middle name, leave this item blank; do not enter NMI, NMN, etc.

Last Name: Enter the infant's last name. The child's last name does not have to be the same as either

parent. [emphasis mine] Also enter any suffixes following the last name.

' No numerical names, obscenities, or non-alphabetic characters are permitted. [emphasis mine]Parents may name the infant any name they desire as long as it will fit in the space provided on the

certificate. The entry may be "double-decked" if necessary. The parent(s) do not have to give

the child their surname; for instance John Jones and Mary Brown, husband and wife, may

name their child Tommy Green, Jr. A mother may give her child a supposed father's name

without his name appearing on the birth certificate as the father. A last name may be

hyphenated, as in Jones-Brown."

also, my friend who worked in OB in NYC had someone name their daughter shithead (pronounced chitheed)

Grandparents reported their new granddaughters name pronounced "Ab-see-dee", but spelled ABCDE. Not kidding. :nuke:

[Jbug]

How about naming your daughter "Swastika"? Nice huh?

Ugh - hopefully that mom is only ignorant and not truly neo-nazi.
