S/O Strangest Name You Ever Heard:

[MariannNOVA]

Years ago, an OB I know was delivering a baby -- not driving the baby from one place to the other -- the OB was in a Delivery Room at a hospital :glare:

 

anyway, the OB told one of the nurses in the course of the delivery that the baby was presenting or whatever the phraseology with 'dystocia.' Not sure, but think it means that a shoulder is presenting first instead of the head.

 

After all was said and done, and all was well, and the mom was holding the baby girl, of course the mom was asked what she was naming the baby. Mom asks the OB: 'What was that word you used?' The OB and the nurses look at each other and begin listing words they used: 'Uterus, contracting, clamping down, placenta, dystocia.........' 'THAT'S IT!' the mom says. She asks how it is spelled, and she names the baby Dystocia.

 

THAT is the strangest name I have ever heard.

There was recently a man convicted of murder here whose name is Dalcapone Alpaccino Morris.

I worked as a social worker for a while, and I encountered many strange names. Two that stick out in my mind are Karizma and Rio de Janeiro. There was also the sibling group of John, Johnathan, Johnte, and Johntia.

 

I read the birth announcements once, and there was a baby named Princess Destin. All I could think of was a little baby in a tiara waving a tube of diaper cream like a wand.

 

Get ready for the flood of urban legends in this thread. Everyone knows someone whose aunt's cousin's sister's best friend taught a [fill in the blank with the urban legend name of your choice].

This is the cake topper for me... Sh*thead. Pronounced Sha-heed. Why anyone would spell their child's name that way I just can't fathom.

See what you've done: I had an admin ass't about 13 years ago and her dd's name was : Princez (pron. Princess)

[Remudamom]

I know a couple who named their boy Liberty. A girl yes, a boy?

[Desert Rat]

ABCD. pronounced abseedee. My friend (who worked at the daycare she attended) called her Abby.

[Tabrett]

When I was doing my student teaching, many years ago, there was a little boy names PoJo?!?!?!? Who would name their child PoJo? He was taken away from his parent by social services and was adopted. When he was adopted, the new parents changed his name to Joe. He was so excited to tell everyone at school his name was not PoJo any more, but now Joe. I think I started crying for joy after I found out. Why someone would do this to a child is beyond me.:mad:

I have traced my family history way, way, way back to the 1600s. One of my male ancestors was Freedom Lippencott. His wife was Hope. Their son was Liberty.

My dad went to a urologist named Peter Dickey in El Paso in the 1980s.

[BikeBookBread]

Jadzia (named after Jadzia Dax from Star Trek: DS9) -- She was the newborn granddaughter of a lady at my church growing up. The Grandma was NOT thrilled with this name.

 

No kidding, we saw a commercial van around town about 5 months ago advertising, "Perfectly Planned by Candida" (it was a party planning company).

 

My neighbor growing up was a dentist. His name was Dr. Paine.

[cjbeach]

My bff worked in a really interesting pedi trauma unit. OMG the stories...

She had a little girl named Gonorhea (one r). :001_huh: Mom pronounced it "John a raya"

When we lived in Albuquerque, there was a teen who murdered a neighbor. His first name was Mister.

Might have been good then, but I'm betting now it'll be shortened to Libby.

[thescrappyhomeschooler]

My older brother had a kid in his class named Skylab, because Skylab was passing overhead when he was born.

Was this when you were in the Seattle area? 'Cause my dh was reading the first page of this thread over my shoulder when he said, "I know a dentist named Dr. Paine." (and we are in the Seattle area-using area loosely)

[Natalieclare]

My dad's childhood friend was named Ralph (and I must spell this phonetically as I don't know the correct spelling) Prah-kuh-puke. Poor kid!

[Alphabetika]

This isn't a weird name, but it's unusual and cool - Sophronia Adeline Roseberry. One of my dh's relatives ( my dd is doing some geneology).

 

A friend of mine has nephews named Captain and Concord.

 

My dh sat next to a woman on his flight home from Paris last year, and her sons were named Pirate and Zeppelin. Turned out her dh was the lead singer of the band Korn.

YES! I grew up on Mercer Island. His name was Dr. Bob Paine. I think he would be in his 90, or over 100 by now because I lived on MI from 1968 - 1995, and he was about 75 when he retired, and they moved in the mid-80's.

[Meriwether]

Penny Anna

 

 

Not too bad except their last name was Nickel.

[Soph the vet]

Just FYI, Dystocia means "difficult birth" so it can be applied to any abnormal presentation. I still wouldn't name my dd it :D.

[MamaT]

Liberty Ann and Justice (twins) with the last name of Farrel.

 

(Liberty and Justice for all)

 

I encountered a woman last week with the name of Virgin Mary. :confused:

 

I worked with Red Cherry at one time.

 

I was working as a receptionist when I first got married for a very prominent attorney. Of course, his calls were screened. I asked very nicely, "Who shall I say is calling, please?" His answer, "Spider Webb."

 

I thought it was a prank and hung up on him. He called back and informed me that his name was Spider Webb the Third. He evidently thought he was important enough that I would know who he was. :001_smile:

[OnTheBrink]

In my job, I've run across several names that made me wonder what the parents were thinking. But, it might be a HIPPA violation to repeat them here.

[milovany]

A baby portrait photographer we went to once said she had photographed a baby girl whose name was pronounced "Absidy". It was spelled Abcde. :001_huh:

[milovany]

ABCD. pronounced abseedee. My friend (who worked at the daycare she attended) called her Abby.

 

LOL, I just posted the same one before seeing this.

I taught a Doctor _______. Doctor was his first name.

 

Went to college with Robert Pepper, who was in med school at the time. He's practicing medicing now in south Texas somewhere.:001_smile:

 

A distant relative, Phyllis, married a man whose last name is _illis.

Neighbours in an apartment complex where I once lived named their daughter "Caprice" -- after their family car.

Have you seen the dentist where Trader Joe's is named Dr. Loving? I think I'm remembering that right. I'd like a dentist named Dr. Loving. :lol:

[Sara in WA]

The two that come to mind are:

* Angel - for a boy's name (poor boy)

* Critter - as a given first name (very poor boy)

[jujsky]

I went to school with a girl named Candy Graham. I had an English teacher with the unfortunate name of Dick Burns. I cannot fathom why the man did not go by Richard instead :lol:

[Haiku]

I'd like a dentist named Dr. Loving. :lol:

 

Where we live, there is a dentist named Dr. Love. My husband, who is a designer, keeps threatening to make the dentist promotional t-shirts that say, "Drilled and Filled by Dr. Love!"

[Alphabetika]

I once had a PA at our doc's office named Sandy Butts. And it was her married name!

[BigMamaBird]

I have an ancestor named Freelove Foote. It just sounds like a weird fetish to me:D

[TravelingChris]

In Jr. High, I had an industrial arts teacher named Prince Pope.

[jujsky]

Oh, and you DID all hear that Lord Jesus Christ III was hit by a car recently in MA?

 

http://www.ktar.com/?nid=399&sid=1292060

 

Apparently the man legally changed his name a couple years ago. Imagine explaining to your insurance company that you hit Lord Jesus Christ? :lol:

[Susan in KY]

In our town, we have a librarian named Bookie who is married to a lawyer named Judge. The sheriff, called "Tiny," is quite an enormous fellow.

 

I love small town America!

My older brother had a kid in his class named Skylab, because Skylab was passing overhead when he was born.

 

 

i actually think Skylab is pretty cool! i've told my husband that it's a good thing we aren't having any more kids because i've taken a liking to the name Kaiser von Loopy lately... ;)

 

i have a great-great aunt named Icy...why you would want to impart the virtue of frigidness on your daughter is beyond me!

Here in the South you occasionally hear a few odd ones like Tater, Duder and Uddry (pronounced like Audrey) and I have a great great grandmother whose name was Leafie.

That's sad that there are 2 kids out there. I wouldn't have believed it or thought it was an urban legend if I hadn't known this lady for so long. She mentioned that the girl was removed from her birth parents and the foster family was in the process of adopting last year. They were going to legally change her to Abby.

[Desert Rat]

I also know a Jedi.
