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!

"Le-a"

Mom was unhappy with me when I referred to her child as Lea...she retorted..."her name is Le DASH a". You can't make this stuff up...no chance that kid will have trouble with other kids in school...I can't imagine having to correct the pronunciation of my name for the rest of my life...

Well it depends what they are...Or to which caste they belong..Everyone has its own tone of talking..There can be many name which according to us is weird but for them they are not..Like D,PP,Rady.Papu,Gajju....

Not kidding.

...somebody was talking about drug names that would work for baby names. I saw a few that I wanted to add to the list: Januvia, Cialis and Premarin. ... :)

I wonder if they'd still choose 'Premarin' if they knew it came from 'pregnant mare urine'?

Is it time for someone to claim that they've seen twins named Orangejello and Lemonjello yet? Because if it is I totally took care of their mom last week. For real. I'm sure you will all find these names as shocking as I did, having never ever heard them before.

I had forgotten about this until my brother was attempting to get a passport last week and ran across his *original* bc...

His name was spelled correctly on the form (my mom has a copy) but the office of vital stats turned Gordon into Gardun.

I had tears running last night from laughing at my brother... My mom said it took almost TWO YEARS! to get it fixed!! (my mom is a K teacher and has immaculate handwriting!! Someone was asleep writing in info!)

twins named "Lucipher" and "Satan"- no kidding. No amount of visits from social workers, hospital admin, the state could convince mom to change her mind, poor babies:(
