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!
Recently had a baby girl Arlington (Arly) whose big sister was named Remington (Remy). I thought they were cute
Glee.
Yes the mom was like...19...yes I wanted to smack her.
We just had a little boy named Anakin. Poor kid

A resident who was doing his rounds in my Ped office told me he had a patient named Shithead..(pronounced: Shih-theed`) I'll never get over that one. But we had so many names in that office that were out of control. The worst were entire families of siblings with such similar spelling names, we constantly got charts mixed up, like Shaena and Shenae..ugh!!! lol
Boy - look what I missed not having children! Of course, I can name a cat!
From my niece's school class a little girl named Meadow, last name Summers. So on the class register she is 'Summers Meadow'. In the same class there is also J-A (pronounced Jaydasha).
Okay, the lady who was in the room with me when I had my older daughter named her son Country Joe.My hubby does social security disability and he SWEARS that he PERSONALLY has seen people named Lemonjello and Orangejello (pronounced le-mohngello and or-ahngello). I don't know.
My daughter has a friend named Orion. All I can say is that his parents were way cooler than we were!
Oh! And I took care of a lady in her 80's whose name was Lola Dimples. Can you imagine? I told her she must have been the cutest baby in the world to have been named that!!!
Love

I personally had a pt name her dtr orangejello. Pronounced as above
My mom told me about a woman in the 80's who named her twins that, after the food she craved the most:
Orange Jello
Lemon Jello
I knew a woman who named her daughter Yonina.
For those of you who don't know a Yoni is sanskrit for lady parts.

How funny! My friend is a postpartum nurse and told me a patient had twins and one had this name...the other twin was named A$$hole (pronounced A-shol-ay). I kid you not
We had triplets named . Wednesday, Thursday and Friday needles to say the older twins were Monday and Tuesday ! I guess Sunday will be their day of rest.. Or maybe Sunday will be her next baby !
