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!

As a pediatric nurse, a couple of years ago I took care of a Cherrybomb America.

Also, took care of pt named Chetara. Yep, Mom admitted she named her daughter after the cartoon character from the Thundercats- and now that the daughter is a teenager, mom is still proud of that decision.

My next girl child will be called Sunshine Daydream. Call me weird, but I choose to give my child a name I like and find unique.

And remember, someone made all these names up at one point, its not like there are a set number that are OK, and the rest are *made up*

I don't know if I've posted this on this particular thread (all sorts of strange baby name threads here on allnurses), but I believe that the strangest name that I've heard is Peregrine. I don't know if it's this part of the country, but this is a name that you don't hear about too much around here.
