42 Bizarre Baby Names That Actually Exist
We recently rounded up very ~unhinged~ baby names that healthcare workers have seen, and it turns out, a LOT of you have even more odd names to share. Here are some interesting names our BuzzFeed readers say they just couldn't get over hearing IRL:
"A teacher friend had a student named VAHGINAE. Spelled, VAGINA."
"Peds nurse here! Baby was named Blessed Angle (parents pronounced it Angel because they thought that was the correct spelling of 'angel' and no one corrected them)."
"Magnum — like the condoms…it was a little girl."
"A little girl named 'Country.'"
"I know a guy who has the legal name Real Joynt."
"I met a 6-year-old named Pimple 🤦🏻♀️."
"I worked on both a pediatric and an adult cardiothoracic floor. On my peds floor, I took care of a toddler named Princess Sparkle Cupcake. On my adult floor, an 80-something man named Adolf Hitler. I truly felt for them both."
"Teacher here — I have a student named L-A (pronounced La-Dash-Uh)."
"Retired nurse sharing craziest baby names seen: Shitonya (Shuh-TAWN-ya) and Syphilis (Sigh-PHIL-iss)."
"Worked in HR at an auto parts plant and kept a list of unusual names. Triplets: Tequila, Margarita. There was also someone named Demon."
"A friend would send us the craziest names from her time in labor and delivery. My favorite were twin boys named Leonard and Bleonard."
"A boy named Raptor."
"I met a Gerry and Terry Christmas with girls named Merry and Marry."
"Chanel, because she was #5 in the birth order. 😂"
"Benign (better than malignant, but still…)."
"In college, I worked at a local school district implementing a new filing system for student and staff records. One of the students' names was Nosmoking. Pronounced nas-mo-king."
"My son has a classmate named Bottom."
"I knew three brothers named Hunter, Beau, and Aero."
"A girl worked at a grocery store in the dairy aisle, and she was named Velveeta."
"I was at the playground with my daughter, and she made friends with a kid. The dad said his son's name is SPIDER. My daughter thought he saw a spider and ran for the hills (she's scared of bugs)."
"When I was a CNA, I was assisting a new mom. She couldn't wait to tell me her baby's name, but said she had to write it for me first. On the dry erase board, she wrote La-a. I asked how she pronounced La-a. She said, 'It's easy! LaDashAh.' She wanted you to pronounce the dash. My face melted."
"Courtney, but spelled "Quartnee.'"
"My mom was a nurse and said a new mom heard the staff discussing something called 'meconium.' She liked it, so she named her daughter that. Go on and Google that. "
"On a cruise, a staff member was named Abcde — pronounced Ab-su-dee."
"I met a little girl in North Carolina named Shithead. The mom said it was pronounced she-thiad."
"Concresha — the baby was born in the parking lot."
"There was a girl in the grade above me in high school, her name was Holly Kost."
"Two kids at a daycare: Holla and Thang. They were siblings. Loved it."
"Dinosaur goes by Dino (Pronounced Dean-no)."
"I was teaching summer school and had a student on my roster named Unique Payne."
"Lasagna (pronounced Lizzanya)."
"I knew identical twins named Brendan and Brandon. Dad's name was Brendon."
"My mom was in the grocery store and overheard a woman with a son named Spatula."
"I'm a retired RN. An OB doctor friend told me two names for whom he refused to sign the birth certificate. One was Elevator, pronounced El E Va Tour. The other name was Clitoris prnounced Clit Tour Us."
"I worked at a children's hospital a while back, and a girl came in with the name: JK_MN, and it was pronounced 'Noel' because in that sequence of letters you are missing the 'L' hence 'No L.'"
"My parents almost named my older brother Surf. When I asked why they almost chose to name him after a water sport, they said the name actually came from the old laundry detergent of the same name. "
"Worked in a call center, spoke to a woman named Kimothy."
"Siblings named Bentley (boy) and Maserati (girl)."
"My granny was a dental hygienist and one of her patients was a little girl named Clitoris."
"15-year-old mom wanted to name daughter Dia Rrhea because it sounded nice."
"Helped a full-grown woman whose legal name was Kitten. It was on her driver's license and everything."
"Worked with a woman who talked about twins she knew named Pete and Repete."

Wayne Lewis, Founding Member of Atlantic Starr, Dead at 68
Wayne Lewis, a founding member of R&B group Atlantic Starr, died Thursday, June 5. He was 68. His death was confirmed by the band. 'It's with great sadness we have to post the passing of Wayne Lewis on June 5, 2025,' the group posted on their official Facebook page Friday. 'Please keep the family in your prayers and respect there privacy #waynelewis #restinpeace #flyhigh Sunrise 4/13/1957 Sunset 6/5/2025 #restinpeaceWayne.' More from Rolling Stone George Wendt's Cause of Death Revealed Jonathan Joss, 'King of the Hill' Voice Actor, Fatally Shot at 59 Valerie Mahaffey, 'Northern Exposure' and 'Desperate Housewives' Actress, Dead at 71 Wayne Lewis, who served as a lead vocalist and keyboardist, and his brothers lead vocalist-guitarist David and trombonist-percussionist Jonathan formed the group in White Plains, New York in the late Seventies. The early core members included singer Sharon Bryant, trumpeter William Sudderth, saxophonist Damon Rentie (Koran Daniels replaced Rentie in 1981), bassist Clifford Archer, drummer Porter Carroll Jr., and percussionist-flutist Joseph Phillips. Wayne and David Lewis are credited with writing many of their songs. The band signed with A&M and released their self-titled debut album in 1978 featuring 'Stand Up,' which hit Number 16 on the R&B singles chart, and they dropped their sophomore LP the next year with Straight to the Point. Bryant led a pair of hits from their next albums, 'When Love Calls' from 1981's Radiant and the Number Two-charting 'Circles' from 1982's Brilliance. She scored another one with 'Touch a Four Leaf Clover' from 1983's Yours Forever before leaving to pursue a solo career, with Barbara Weathers replacing her. Their sixth album, 1985's As the Band Turns, found the group pared down to a quintet and also brought them their breakout hit 'Secret Lovers,' written and produced by Wayne and David Lewis. The single reached Number Three on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number One on the Adult Contemporary chart. They followed up with another smash hit 'Always,' which appears on 1987's All in the Name of Love. The song topped the pop and R&B charts. Their most recent album, Metamorphosis, arrived in 2017. Along with Wayne Lewis, the group's current lineup included Jonathan Lewis, and Melessa Pierce and Shammah Carter.
