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!

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

Anyone else read the Ramona books by Beverly Clearly? Didn't she have a doll she named Chevrolet? LOL why do I remember that????:lol2:

How about Tuff and Rowdy(boys)? At least the girl was somewhat normal with Georgia.

There is a rodeo star named Tuff so that name is not that unusual in areas where rodeos are popular. I've seen several boys named Rowdy, but as with Tuff it's always with families that enjoy rodeos.
