Twins : Roderrick and Roderricka,

Twins : Autumn and Fall

We seem to have a run of parents that believe that subbing a "y" in place of the letter "o" in an otherwise masculine name makes it "girly" (recent ones...Carsyn, Hudsyn, Dawsyn...)

No. It. Doesn't.

And if you want to give your kid a unique name then go ahead. Taking a common name and giving it a "unique" spelling just makes it a common sounding name that is spelled funny. I've seen Emily spelled about 8 million different ways by parents that thought it was "unique", but when the teacher calls it out...chances are a few other Emily's will also answer.

pronounced: sha-thee-ed

spelled: shi'thead

yes, really...

i'm pretty sure i heard that one along with orangelo and lemongelo. and "ahsohlee" (except spelled differently :>p))

all these names have been passed from generation to generation of nicu nurses. i'll bet it's a legend...

We recently sent home a sweet little girl named Pixie. Fitting now, but when she runs for president?

nope--hence the original caveat. this young man is alive and well in virginia, and is a student in the same school district my husband teaches in. i did not beleieve dh until he showed me a school program with said child's name on it.

as you can see from my screen name, i do home care, not nicu, and am a bit of a skeptic myself! have no clue what mom was thinking...or maybe she saw it elsewhere and thought it was great!

what ever happened to elizabeth and matthew???

[SteveNNP, MSN, NP]
