We’ve all heard of some interesting kids’ names before, but no one encounters more of them than the nurses at hospitals who deal with babies. Victoria, a NICU nurse in Florida, got people talking about the most surprising ones in a recent TikTok video. She asked NICU, labor and delivery and postpartum nurses to “tell me the most unhinged baby names you’ve heard.”
“I’m not talking, like, Naveah,” Victoria clarifies. “I’m talking so unhinged it would send the Social Security office into a coma.” She started things off, sharing that she’s encountered babies named Dracula, Messiah, and Bronze and Gold. The video went viral and the comments section is full of names that prove these nurses understood the assignment.
These are some of the almost unbelievable baby names nurses have heard:
- “Twins in the NICU — one boy, one girl — named Brock Lee and Callie Flower.”
- “Not a nurse but worked on a postpartum floor; twins named Abracadabra and Alacazam.”
- “Twins named Michael and Lil Michael. Mom threatened to beat me up when I laughed. I didn’t know she was serious.”
- “Canon and Crystal. Their last name is Ball.”
- “Lucifer ... Oddly enough I took care of another baby named Messiah the same night.”
- “I work in pediatric dentistry and we have a kid named Sheep.”
- “Arealtruemiracle. All one word.”
- “Narwhal ... His name was Narwhal.”
- "L&D nurse here: Phelony."
- “Teacher here. I had triplets: Lincoln, Mercedes and Bentley. I also had twins: Bert and Ernie.”
- “Russell, which isn’t bad except the middle name is Mania. Russell Mania.”
- “Frijoles Guacamole. On my life not joking. We secretly keep a bad baby name book to remind us of all the crazy first and middle names.”
- “Blessica.”
