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!

A girl I went to high school with her name was Miecho..

Specializes in SRNA.
I almost ended up Timber Wolff, Winter Wolff, or Summer Wolff.

That made me chuckle! I actually have cousins named Blue Wolfe and Grey Wolfe...when my other aunt was pregnant with her daughter, she was planning on naming her Timber, but I think my grandmother raised hell about it and that plan was scrapped.

She is not a baby any longer, but I know a woman named Donning Horizon.

This is actually kind of cute, My neighbors daughter works at SeaWorld and named her twin baby boys Gilbert and Finnegan, "Fin & Gil", for short-hehe.

And now for the most outrageous one I can think of. Drum roll, please. I remember a messed up adolescent psych patient whose first name was Crystal and whose middle name was--I kid you not--Meth. Need I say more.

Miranda

LOL, I think this one tops them all. Well, like someone else said, she doesn't have to use her whole name. Crystal isn't so bad, or unusual.:lol2: :rotfl: :roll

I used to work for a man named Richard Wacker and he honestly went by Dick (I'll let you put the 2 together).

Specializes in Women's health & post-partum.
One of my best guy friends in college had a girlfriend named Ophelia Dick. Her sister was Tabitha, and got about as much teasing (kids would call her To Bite The Dick). Personally, I'd have changed my name in either case.

My first thought was that people would get over teasing her about her name as they matured, and then I remembered that in nursing school we had an instructor named "Miss Orwig". The students called her "Earwig". She knew it, of course. Living with that name, she had to have heard it many times!

the weirdest name that i've heard and it wasn't from a patient was january surprise.

Cash Monae, if that doesn't predestine a child to become a stripper I don't know what would.
