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!

Come on, people!

Some of these are Urban Legends that have been around a lloooong time! Check them out yourself on Snopes and Urban Legends websites

Before anyone posts this one (maybe I should have read the whole thread before I say this) let me tell you that the newest "name story"

"I heard from a friend of mine who works regeistering new patients that a lady got really mad when no one could pronounce her daughter's name. It's spelled Ja-ia. People were saying JAAYa JayIA, none of it right. The mom said "Her name be JA DASH I A...that dash don't be silent"."

This one is both a legend AND racist so it's a double whammy.

I've seen a few La-a's now. Pronounced La-Dash-uh. For Real!

Chevy ( a son) and Dodge (another son) No kidding! Of course i live in the south!!!

Chevy (in its various spellings) is becoming a more and more popular girl's name here in the Midwest.

Hello there!

This thread is absolutely HILARIOUS!

I have heard some crazy names but nothing compares to this one!

So my roommate & I went to a seminar in England for Obstetrics.

Mind you everyone in England is very uptight.

So we arrive at the seminar and there is a board of OB/GYN's

The 3rd doctor stood up & said...

"Good Afternoon, I am Dr. Lord Papsmeayer (pronounced Lord Papsmear)"

My roommate & I just couldn't hold our laugh in! It was beyond funny!

However, they found it so normal.
