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!

No offense to anyone, but I wish I had a quarter for every time the names La-sha and Orangejello appeared in this thread!

What I wonder is if kids named Serenity lived up to their name.;).........

Okay, so I'm not an ob/gyn nurse, and this doesn't concern a baby, but my husband and I were watching an old episode of Family Feud, and a woman on one of the teams had been named MALAISE! I would hate to go through life with that name! Her mom must have had a heck of a pregnancy to name her child that; the mother did not seem to be particularly.....uh, uneducated or ignorant.

the weirdest name I have heard is " xxx"

At least the poor kid wasn't named Triple Sec!

A woman named her baby female, pronounced phemalee. She said she thought the doctor named the baby because "female" was on the babys arm band. And thats why people should have to take tests prior to becoming a parent.

Ah, yes,but you know that SOMEWHERE in the world is a child with that very name!!

A couple was going to name their daughter 'Sweetpea.' But then they changed their minds.

They ended up naming her 'Snapdragon.' #notkidding
