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!

Specializes in ER (My favorite), NICU, Hospice.

I used to work with a nurse who named his son Steele. It's not that I don't like the name, its cute, but its just "different".

Please don't take offense if you no someone with that name.

I have a pediatric patient named Mpanda, another named Batuli..

Specializes in LTC.

Hi guys I'm new here but I think I have a couple of winners for you in the weird baby name discussion are you ready? In high school I knew of a girl name Aphrodite, her sister Isis and Brother Buffalo Zeus! all greek gods. I also knew of a family last name Beaver the 2 youngest were Pacer and Cricket. I also have heard the Placenta story and the Female story before.

I was told by a nurse I knew that one of her patients had eaten lemon jello and orange jello after delivering twin boys. She named the boys Le'monjelo and Le'ranjelo.

I went to college with a guy names Angus Rocket.

There is a OBGYN in Nothern VA named Harold Beaver (I looked it up, it's true!)

My sister went to school with Candice Clapp.

I once worked with a guy named Tim Toomer, and another named Tom Timko.

Also worked with a Suet Man... who is a woman (she's Cambodian)

Oh geez, can't believe I forgot these: when I was alittle kid, the kids naext door were named Dickey and Peter Cummings. The funny thing is it never hot me until I was in college and mentioned it to my boyfriend and another friend. They howled and rolled around laughing while I said "What? what???"

I took care of a man named George Washington and when I went to give report, the nurse on the other line said, "roosevelt here." Then I said, "roosevelt, here cometh George Washington." And it was very close to president's day...

I recently met Hawaii Vegas.

Specializes in Medical Stepdown with monitors.
:lol2: :lol2: Some of the names I have heard are AAmenn,Penut cause the baby weighed 4 pounds at birth,Sunset and Dove cause the mom loved morning doves.:lol2: :lol2:

I work in the ER and I promise the baby's first name was Coe last name Kane. Coe Kane, how sad is that.

Specializes in L&D, PP, NSY.

What are some people thinking??? Anyway..I have to say the "oddest" named child I've actually cared for was Tequilla Rose.

:uhoh3: I had a patient name her baby Meconium! I explained what meconium was but the patient still insisted that was the name she wanted.
