    Don't name your kids after what you were drinking when you got pregnant, I have taught Chardonnay, Kavocsea' (ka-va-sea-ay), Hennesse, & Seagram. Why???
    Also noticed the weirder the name the more discipline issues the child has in school.
    Kavocsea'? I guess they didn't know how to spell Courvoisier...

    In for all the people who know someone who worked with someone who knew of babies who were named these names:

    La'a
    Female
    Sh**head
    Lemonjello and Orangejello twins
    Placenta
    and whatever other urban myth names I have forgotten.

    Oh how could I forget D'niece and D'nephew?!?!

    You forgot Sy Phy Lus and Gon Nor Ea

    Two stories. One from my mother 7 decades ago. She was working at GHI in DC (the forerunner of BC/BS) enrolling newborns in the health plan. Right after a major victory, sure enough, here came twins to be enrolled..

    One was named Iwo. The other was named Jima.

    The second was from a friend who was an OB-GYN resident. One of his fellow residents had been up on a 48 hour call (that'll show you it's been a while) and was dog tired and a bit punch drunk. A lady had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl and hadn't chosen names. So she asked the resident for suggestions. Being so punchdrunk and silly, he blurted the first two things that popped into his head.

    For the boy: Ureter. For the girl: Urethra.

    Poor kids.

    :laugh: it is pretty tricky!

    I knew an NICU nurse who had a mother try to name her kid Etoh, because she saw it on her chart and it 'sounded pretty'.

    ETOH was the code indicating that she was drunk when she came in to deliver....:huh:

    Hey! I know Anita! (unless there's more than one with the same name, and goodness I hope not!) She's an awesome lady with a great sense of humor. She said her parents didn't realize what they had done. Silly parents.

    ETA: I don't post much on these boards and clearly didn't grab the initial post about the woman named Anita Bohner.

    With the arrival of Kim & Kanye's baby girl this week, it got me to thinking...

    What are some interesting, odd and just downright weird names you have heard people name their babies?

    I thought Apple was interesting until I heard North West...

    Pepsi....and I am not kidding....

    wow, poor babies

    Acaintenaces of mine named their sons Thor and Conan...I thought that was weird, but compared to some of the names on here, they now sound quite normal.

    A friend of mine just named her baby boy Thor.
    Not my first choice, but not the craziest either...

    I'm fond of the names Isolde and Isobel, but I've yet to meet a man not opposed.

    And if I had a son his name would be Jason Todd (lastnamehere)

    I thought of another one!

    My good friend Erin, her nieces names are CeeJay (yes spelled that way) and Indie Rose

    CeeJay was interesting, On her card I put CJ and was told I spelled it wrong (whoops!)

    I went to high school with Hope Ender. She was goth. Totally not kidding. There was also a girl named Crystal Pietch (pronounced peach). We used to call her Glass Banana behind her back because we were mean girls. I knew a guy in college named Carleton and all he made me think of was Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

    I have a colleague named Honey. It sounds so weird when I hear my boss addressing her on the phone saying "Hi Honey, how are you today." Very strange name for a grown-up to have.
