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!

Maverick? How awful. There are Maverick Gas Stations all over Utah. Imagine all the teasing......

Specializes in L&D.

Here are some of the names I've come across....

A set of twins - GeminiLee and GeminiLynn (no, they were not born under the gemini zodiac sign)

Nefertiti

Shirley (this was a baby boy)

Storm

Timmy (no, not Timothy, they wanted TIMMY on the birth certificate....and this was a very highly educated married couple, both scientists)

A nurse I work with is named Reesa - she told me the story behind that. Her parents wanted a boy, were going to name him Reese. Got a girl...named her Reesa.

I also take care of a large amish population...have had many babies with the mother's maiden name or a different last name in the family used as a middle name : Stoltzfus, Esh, etc, etc. Sometimes, this population will only give a middle initial for a middle name....I explain to them, that what they write on the birth certificate info sheet will be printed EXACTLY on the birth certificate.

Will be on the lookout for more unusual baby names.....

Enjoying reading all that everyone has posted so far

:roll

Darkus River (last name Waters)

Okay, here go the names---Parents who take their child to by kid's daycare had a baby---there last name is Morgan........guess what they named her? You got it MORGAN. Her husband thought it was "cute." My god! I went to school with a Stoney Hill and a Scott Free. I went to nursing school with a girl who named her kid Dackary. Some of them are just pathetic!

Had a math teacher in high school named Thomas Thomas, he license plate on his car was TSQARED...:roll

True Love always got me, called her Trudie.

The old names are sometimes a real hoot: I have an Uncle Orey Clyde (aka Dick), Aunt Leveta Pearl.

I worked with a nurse whose "big" brother got to name the baby, yet another wrong headed idea. His name was Jimmy Harvey.

I had a young, single English teacher in high school: Laura Krone. Some names should be changed on GPs.

I am LOL...the best ones from our unit have been

1. Mr. Cowboy (Mr. was his first name, spelled just like that, and Cowboy was his middle name!!! ) They let his brother name him.

2. Flazy....the mom named her daughter this because she was bound to be just like her father...f'ing lazy!!! We almost died!

3. Carrion...isn't that dead stuff that vultures eat????

4. Chardella Porcha Cherry ...her 13 year old mom named her...it was a combo of her name and dad's, the kind of car they wanted and their favorite ice cream. Lovelllly.

5. Coochie

6. General Sherman Sir...no lie :roll

7. Wayne and WuWayne

I grew up with a friend named Cinnamon........

Specializes in LTC, MDS/careplans, Unit Manager.

I started a new job in August and just realized that we have a urologist in the area named.....Dr. Dick. I kid you not...I almost died!!!!

OK.. have to put this in. My son had a Junior High teacher and I am sure she married into this last name but I wouldn't have taken it. Fonda Cox. God, I pray noone from my hometown reads this! Have heard all the other weird ones that I have read so far too. Sad what ppl do to their kids.
