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!

I went to school with a Prince and Princess (they were brother and sister). My step-mom wanted to name her child Zero if she ever had one (she didn't).....her last name started with a Z. My friend said that her Dad wanted to name her Penelope Candice (sp?) and call her Penny Candy. My husband wanted to name our son after an Aztec ruler.....I said no way! We decided on Julian ;)

A rad tech where I work named his daughter Dorkus. :o Poor kid. I know it is the name of a saint, but there are many other saints to choose from! Can you imagine how bad that child will get picked on in junior high?

I did not know Dorkus was a saint but there was a girl 2 years ahead of me in highschool and that was her name (I'm over 40)

Hey my Grandmother was named 'Pearl" :rotfl:

From my childhood growing up in Central Mississippi and going to public school I remember several girls named Latrina. I never realized until I was in my 20's that without the a at the end it sounds like a word for a urinal. This name was so common it never crossed my mind. We also had in my class a Eureeka. I guess her parents felt they had struck gold!
