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!

Specializes in NICU.
I knew of a similar one. His name was Richard Weed and went by Dick. In that case, I think he was asking for it (don't you?).

Exactly - just like Mr. Sniff. Crazy people! I mean, if their parents did it to them, then at least it isn't their fault - but when they deliberately do it to themselves, that's a whole other story!

My sons ex g/f was named holly wood!

Specializes in ER/PDN.

we have a doctor whose name is Thomas Thomas. I think he is from india or south america.

LOL I have a friend I work with...lovable and sweet, but also kina goofy. She has two sons. The oldest is named Jhett and the youngest is named Gryffin. These are the most unusual names I've heard. :p

years ago before breast feeding made it's big comeback, sometimes an androgenic drug called deladumone in the dr to suppress lactation. the doc would usually just give the orders for the dose out loud to the circulating nurse. you guessed it. there's at least one woman out there in small town america with the first name deladumone because her mother said she "heard this beautiful name in a dream".

i decided, since the 2nd "strange baby names" thread was getting so long, let's start another.

ready.....set.....go!

twins from last night - gypsy and cinnamon. (what a great start to their Media/stripper careers)

orion - (baby boy) - ok, this one did have a romantic, constellation engagement story behind it, so it's not so bad, but still a strange, out-there name.

orzio - another baby boy - poor kid

and, drumroll please.....................

happy birthday to the winner of the year:

queen messiah jesus christ :balloons: :balloons:

oh yes, that was the baby's full, legal name for the birth certificate. oh how wonderful.

give me a few more births to attend at work, and i'm sure to have more to add. i have definitely noticed a trend towards the unusual/unique names lately. some of them sound and look just like random letters thrown together, that i can't even recall them once i get home.

the poor, poor kids........

I actually knew a guy named Tom Thomas. My mother saw a kid on the school rolls named Easter Bunny. I heard of a guy in our maternity who named his new child Menu....because she came from me and You. Too much thinking on that one!!!

I met a little girl named Bacardi the other day. Yes...spelled just like the Rum.

My Aunt told me that in the Philippines, a lot of parents would combine parents or grandparents names together. The mother's name is Consuela, thus "Con" and the father's name is Domingo "dom".

I saw a woman on Wheel of Fortune the other day named Vendetta.

Specializes in L & D.

I once met a little girl who was named Bliss. After the birth of her older sister, her mother had numerous miscarriages. When her second daughter was born, the mom named the little girl what she felt: Bliss!! :p

Took care of a Lovie one time (female) and a Bliss (male).
