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!

Randomly discussing baby names with the boy...he suggests "Rain." His last name is pronounced "Cool." Yeah, I'm naming our kid Cool, Rain. Not happenin' bud.

My friends have a "Rocky." For serious.

Had one come in through ER named Smokey. They were so impressed that I spelled it right...until the other nurse let it slip that my black Lab had the same name.

Had a baby recently by the name 'Dinky.'

Nope. Wasn't a nickname. It was his on-the-BC given name.

Apparently it's dad's real name, too.

Poor kid. He'll be teased. :unsure:

When I found out what my birth mother was going to name me, I was never so glad to be adopted ;) Onyx Acadia. My name is Sarah now. But I legally changed it to that from Courtney.

My grandma used to do the census when it was door to door. She told me about a lady who named her daughter Female. Pronounced "Phimalay." When asked where she got that name she replied, "The doctor gave it to her when she was born."

Recently I had a baby named Astryx who had big brother Spyder at home.

I have seen a baby named "Cash Money" first and middle name. No joke.
