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!

When I was growing up we knew a couple whose last name was Salt.... when their daughter was born they named her Pepper Ann.... now that is just WRONG....

I work in peds... few I remember

Heaven Skye

Sterling silver

Jesse James

Ocean misty

Brandi alexandra

we've had some interesting ones too...

I personally can't stand how the hyphens, and "high commas" (apostrophes) are being added into names...how will they fill out standardized testing bubbles?

anyway, here some are...

Astonishing Lust

Lotus Bleu

Pepsi

Fe'male (fa-mal-ee)

Jersey (makes me think of gym class)

LOL my name is Pepper, but my last name wasn't Salt. I have never liked my name, but am used to it now. My DD has a normal name and so will all other kids.

My dad's a pediatrician, so I heard a lot of names growing up.... one sticks out in particular.... Mystical Purple Hayse (real name!) The child was, not surprisingly, taken from her home due to her mother's drug abuse and has since been adopted by grandma and has a different last name... THANK GOODNESS!

I've also heard of a child named Ocean, and had a friend named Violet Brown... we all called her purple, which she really didn't like! :roll

Took care of a baby Nevaeh last night. That is Heaven spelled backwards!

Every other baby born at my hospital is Nevaeh because of the whole heaven thing. Used to thing is was a pretty name untill they ran it into the ground.

When I did my clinical rotation in OB we had a baby boy that was named Exisis.

I guess the parents said that it was a combo of Genisis and Exodus...but to me it sounded like exorcist...poor kid.

Just thought of another one...lol

I knew a lady that named her baby Autumn Mattox.

Sounds ok right..well say it a bit faster and it sounds like automatic.

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 went to school with two girls named Cricket (at different times).

I knew a Dr. Love once, and very handsome he was...

There's a whole generation of Danes with names like Hans Hansen, Jens Jensen, Lars Lorificen......

My Nana named her kids: Donna, Diana, Don and Peggy. I guess she ran out of D-names.

I got to observe the delivery of a baby boy named Justis.

One of my co-workers has a son named Justice and a brand-new baby girl named Lyric (pronounced just like song lyric (s) )! :uhoh3:

When my second son, Justin, was born, we just BARELY made it to the hospital to deliver. Once my water broke, that was all she wrote--he was on his way! Hubby wanted his middle name to be Time--Justin Time. Luckily, I vetoed that.
