Okay I just have to share this. I read allnurses.com website frequently to get advice, tips, and just other nursing related information. I stumbled across the OB-GYN section and came across ridiculous baby names. I love that subject, because I don't know if this is a new trend or if people have always been naming their children retarded names...but this forum just kept me giggling. So if you would like to read some of these nurses experiences with horrific names, click here.
Here are some of the highlights:
"Montserrat, for a girl.
Nice, I suppose, but she was in the NICU and someone made her a cute name sign. At first glance it looked like "Monster rat""
"Lochia--even worse than the Placenta (at least that is life sustaining, while it's around)" (Lochia is the term used by the med staff to describe bloody discharge from the female organs)
"I once heard of a mom who named her child Nosmoking.....said it was the last thing she saw before her c/s."
"I know of one boy named Tyrannus Rex (yes,spelled that way) and one poor little girl named Tittianna - can you imagine the teasing in school?"
""I don't know how to pronounce it, but I made it up, and I have it written down." She then reached into the drawer of her bedside table and pulled out a small piece of notepaper. On it were 23 DIFFERENT LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET! The lady asked her if this was the name she wanted for her child on her birth certificate, and the mother said "yes." The lady dutifully copied the letters down.
If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I never would've believed it! Can you imagine the nickname the mother probably gave the child...ABC?"
"Miracle was mentioned in a previous post. We had a child in the ER named Remiracle. Must have been her second child. LOL"
"my childs teacher name is harry wenner.
and she goes to school with a girl named satin sheets."
""SEXYBIRD" AND THE OTHER WAS JANUARYFEBRUARY MARCH" (MARCH WAS THE MIDDLE NAME!)"
I had heard of twins like this, regina and vagina.
Liberty Bell born on July 4th
Twin girls- Syphyllis and Gonorrhea pronounced Sif-il'-is and Gone'-or-era. Lovely names.
Sparkle box. Nuff said.
Other names I have heard numerous times, yes that's right several people are actually naming their children this: Placenta, Melena (term for bloody stool), Baby Jesus, Meconium (baby's first bowel movement which is really sticky and gross), Chlamydia, Heaven Leigh, and Shithead.
This is also a warning to my second to oldest sister who is about to pop a baby out any day now. Don't try and name this kid Bilirubin or Snotrag on me. =)
