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!

Isn't there an old story about a hispanic lady who had a baby girl and sqw "female" written on her baby girl's layette.......so she thought they had named it for her?? Female Hernandez. Pronounced "fehMallee".

Well I have said it more than once.......HUkd on Foiks Wurkd for Me.........

sometimes it isn't so much the name as the spelling. Then the parents get offended when you have to ask them what it is they named the baby because you can't quite get Michael out of Mykale ..........Or even better yet when they select a name and then have to have you show them how to spell. Be sure and write in on at least one piece of paper for them so they will have somethign to work off of thill the birth certificate comes in the mail.:chuckle

Had a patient named Jasper Bookout--first and middle name. He liked to be called J.B.

There was a pt. who told her physician that the hospital had already named her baby for her. She had a baby girl and her name was Female (pronounced femolly). Obviously this pt. was not quite up to snuff, feel sorry for the kid having to explain that name her whole life!

my fiancee works in a pharmacy and he comes home with all of these strange names. dennie, he swears about a lemonjello and orangejello. they were twins! then he had a male and female. think mexican food....tamale. the mom thought that is what her twins were name and thought they were pretty! i also knew someone named summer snow. my cousin's name is matthew, and his initials spell mat. thought that was kinda neat.

Is Japheth a name from the bible? Or something with a similar spellng? Awhile back, a set of parents named their baby this because it was biblical. Theyasked us how to PRONOUNCE it! Like, you named your baby a name you don't even kow how to pronounce?!

KRVRN,

Yes, Japheth is a name from the Bible- one of Noah's sons--But it could be worse- the other sons were Ham and Shem! :)

my childs teacher name is harry wenner.

and she goes to school with a girl named satin sheets.

I am actually a pre-nursing student who just got married to an RN! Right after I got married I looked through my hubby paper work where he had the birth certificates of his three boys on his desk. I almost died laughing at one of my step-sons full name. My husband exwife named their last son together True Champion. (They were not together when she gave birth) My hubby mention that when we have children together not to come up with any crazy names.

I worked with a girl who was named Godis and her middle name was Good. So her name was God is Good. Her cousin--who was born 3 days later, was named Iamme. I am me. Godis was also very stunning and gorgeous, so when guys would try and flirt with her it always came back to "yeah God IS good!". Or "Your mama shoulda just named you Goddess!"

I guess they were good reminders to have through out life?

Specializes in PERI OPERATIVE.

Maybe it's the coffe talking, but I think Godis and Iamme are cute!

I had a pt in the hospital whose name was Sequoia Wood (first and middle)
