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!

OK, how about Sugar Magnolia Sunshine. Oh, and Penn State fans who had children named Nittany and Lions. Creative!

i bought my jeep from a saleswoman named nike.

Specializes in Staff nurse.

...had a friend who named her daughter Misty Brooke, first and middle names.

...knew of a Nancy Dancy, Dancy being the last name.

...and when I was a student nurse, one of the docs on OB rotation was named Attila Kiss, first and last names :)

I also Worked with a man called Tracy

That's my fiancee's name, we have a joint checking account( 2 dif last names) and if I treat a friend to lunch, we get the oooh, lesbians look.

Cant say its wierd, I actually think its kinda sweet, but a lady I delivered a few years ago called her daughter TAOME, (prounounced Tayo-me) all caps. I asked her where she got that from and she said it stood for The Apple Of My Eye!! ;)

Had a patient this morning who named her son Vegas.

my late grandmother, a retired rn, told me a story once that i wish i could remember in detail. i'll do my best.

a long, long time ago, a mom admired her ob and wanted to name her son after him. (let's say her sir name was jones.) the doctor's name as i recall was something like robert hipps. this mom was uneducated and the nurses, being cruel, suggested 'umbilicus' as a middle name. the child ended up with something like robert umbilicus hipps jones for a name - poor child.

I have a friend (a sort of wilted flower child) who named her baby Nova. Kind of exciting to be named for an exploding star.

OMG...y'all just made me laugh; I just remembered a "situation" from many moons ago...LOL Anyway, before I became a Nurse--I was a Paramedic for the City of "Nawlins" --that's New Orleans for y'all Yankees-- Anyway i remember going on a call into the lower end of the Socioeconomic region of the city for a Pediatric distress. Well while I was assessing the baby, my partner was getting pt info. from the mom and she handed him the medicaid card--I then had to chuckle as I heard him ask, "m'am, why did you name your baby Shithead and she quickly replied that it was pronounced "Shatheed" :rolleyes:.
