Those are new ones. My mom claims that when she was working as a nutritionist in the hospital she saw a patient that was 12 years old that had just had a baby. While my mom was visiting her roommate, the girl asked her how to spell “placenta” because she had heard the doctor say it and she thought it sounded like a good name.Oy, vey. Now we can appreciate why countries do have a list of “allowed names”.
I have also heard some child was named Cash Collateral. Another named their girls Gonorrhea (pronounced guh-NOR-ee-uh) and Syphilis (si-PHIL-is). They probably meant well, but that’s just child abuse. Well, and most of us have heard about Moon Unit Zappa and her younger brother, Dweezil.
This is the kind of thing that gives ammunition to those who think people who want to be parents ought to need a license (that is, one that is a lot harder to get than a marriage license).
