Crazy Baby Names!

PerkinsFam3 · April 2015

From viewing other threads, it seems like each one of us knows one person who has picked a crazy baby name! How about we share crazy baby names, whether we like them or not! My next door neighbor growing up named her sons Creek and Stone. She ruined the name River for me, even though I love it because I think it's too similar! I also saw a birth announcement at the OB's office for a baby named Lux Jolee. Oh goodness! Also I know a baby named Lyric and one named Kian. Unusual for sure.

Whatcha got?!

Oh my! I have no words!

As a teacher, I've stumbled upon many names that I have found unique over the years. As of lately, I taught a Queen, and she had a younger brother named King...

I was in the line at Wal Mart and my cashier was Aquanetta. Poor thing was named after hair spray.

shaunnar053 · April 2015

I've met a cashier named "Shade" (girl) and a girl in my high school named "Jagger" and "Hennessey" .. I actually loved them all though lol!

gollygeeitsamy · April 2015

I also remember a girl in the grade behind me and her name is Holly Wood.

There is a student in the school I work at named T-erra. Yes, that is how it is spelled.

watermullen · April 2015

I know someone named E'te'she'na (yes, just like that with 3 apostrophes!)

AndieTessie · April 2015

I taught an Abcde (pronounced Absidty). To each their own I guess!

WDDCH · April 2015

I follow someone on IG who just named her baby Birdie Feather. I feel bad for even mentioning it because she's a baby, but the name is a little out there, to me.

troopersmom · April 2015

I know of a girl named "pekulure" pronounced peculiar

Hmorgan826 · April 2015

I'm a nurse in a labor and delivery /postpartum/nursery units and someone named their little girl Dutchess Roy'el Supreme... Not kidding... She had a normal last name tho...

TeacherMom210 · April 2015

My BIL taught a kid named Princess. He was a boy.

LoveLee85 · April 2015

My SIL gave her son the middle name 'Star', but only it's not the spelling way...it's like the 'here grab a pencil and draw me a star, please'......I didn't even know you could use symbols on a birth certificate?!?!?! Of course I love her and him, but the whole family was confused! LOL

mrscate88 · April 2015

Whoa, some of these names are out there! And frightening haha!!

I know someone who named her son Leunam King (pronounced LEE-YOU-NAM). It's Manuel spelled backwards. She wanted him to have a strong, unique name, and that's exactly what she got. He's growing up to be a very precious boy :-)

Princess Consuela Banana Hammock haha (from the show Friends!)

louiseambrose · April 2015

I work for a courthouse, I've seen women named Snakeesha and Tempestuous. Can't make it up.

berticus87 · April 2015

I had a friend who worked for a school helping mentally challenged teens and several of the girls got pregnant. Three of the names I remember were lemongelo and orangelo (like lemon jello and orange jello) and gonaraya (pronounced like the std).
By the way I really hope this doesn't come off as offensive, sorry if it does. It's just the only weird names I've heard...minus one friend who named her daughter storm. She loved it, not my cup of tea.

KellyT22 · April 2015

A friend works in a school and they have a student named Luke Skywalker (he has a normal last name thankfully).

A female cashier at my grocery store is named Atlantis.

In college we knew a girl who's name was Bunnykins (we saw her drivers license so it was legal).

jene10e · April 2015

Formica Dinette... I have no words...

This is an old wives tale with a history of racism. There aren't any lemonjellos or gonhorreas out there.

Had some friends name their daughter Snow last name White. Snow White. It was all I could do to keep smiling and say "that's nice" instead of smacking them on the side of the head and be like "what are you thinking?!"

melco19 · April 2015

River, Rayne and Summit... Brothers!

Mawmee · April 2015

Is this in the U.S.? I thought symbols and accents were prohibited. My middle name is Renée but they refused to put the accent over the E on my birth certificate and all legal documents (I'm not the only one; this still happens).

tpete12 · April 2015

I know of a boy named Bronc, and girl named Hailin Raine. My friends old classmate gave her daughter the initials "OOPS," because well, she was an ooops.

baker1jm2 · April 2015

There's a boy at one of my schools named Allakassoue...pronounced al-a-ka-zoo. I start singing that song from a Disney movie everytime i hear it. Bibbity bobbity boo!

Boobopgirl · April 2015

Jesus (pronounced Jeez-us like the Bible, not Hey-zeus like the Spanish way). Thor. Harpsichord. Bean.

Not one I know personally, but I heard of a kid named Banjo one time.

hmburchell · April 2015

Queenie and her brother Stone
Lavender (which I actually love)
Mellowdee (name is normal, spelling is not)

bonniecouture · April 2015

A girl in one of my bank training classes years ago was named Sweetheart St. Valentine, and it was on her orientation paperwork

berticus87 · April 2015

@KimberlyMav

gosh now I feel really stupid. I kid you not I had a friend tell me that this happened to her and I believed her all these years! Now I just feel really silly for thinking she was serious.

Yep, in the U.S. It's supposedly on the birth certificate. He is almost two years old. I haven't seen it with my own eyes but she tells EVERYONE it's the symbol star...because he is her shiny star...lol. From what I have heard, they let you put anything down!!

Boobopgirl · April 2015

So how are people going to type that on forms and things? How is he going to fill in the bubble for his middle initial on a standardized test?

thefuturemrsdaniel · April 2015

I ran an after school program and had many uh names. I had Zameria, Zamia , Zykeria, Day'sea (she got very mad that I left off the apostrophe ), Yasmine, and Shandrika. That's just some of them. One of my mom's teachers friends had a Sh' . She asked how I would say it. I said Sh apostrophe. Nope Sh above comma..... yeah no words.

ktbkitten · April 2015

Is it bad that I like Lavender? That is pretty.

I've been told about a L-a and yes you pronounce the "-" (la-dash-A)

I live in KC. I hear many names like these. Lots of apostrophes. Love the "above comma" one, oy. Had a kid named Jugbear (juh-bear, silent 'g') in church a few years back.

Boobopgirl · April 2015

I know I know some other ones, but I think some of them may have been ethnic names I wasn't familiar with, so I don't want to post anything accidentally racist sounding. My husband has a cousin who's middle name is "Godman" (girl) which I believe is a bad translation of some Taiwanese name. The mom wanted to have it be her first name, but the dad pointed out that someone at some point will read it quickly and be like "God-d*mn" That's your name?

I also knew a guy who's name was Pidcock. Named his kid Stuart and people called him Stu. (I'm not going to write it out in order, but I think you ladies are all able to figure it out.) Why would you do that to your kid?
