This could be fun what are some of the funniest names you have heard out at triage?
I had a teenage mom that came in I asked what the newborns name was, she smiled and state "Sparkles". I kept a straight face and thought to myself what a loving mother to give her daughter a stripper name.

what are some good ones you have heard
We had a patient who was bad off enough that we needed to contact her PCP. She said she saw an NP named Harriet Johnson. We looked, could not find any such person, so I went back and clarified with the pt, who said, "No, it's Harry."
So our very sweet, young, fairly new unit secretary got on the phone and called the clinic, and when they picked up, she said, "Hi, I'm calling to see if you have a Harry Johnson?"
Well naturally we just fell on the floor laughing ourselves sick until we couldn't even breathe, and she was oblivious. I told her I was amazed they had not assumed she was a crank and hung up on her.

I always get a kick out of patients named "Melena" (have seen this several times). If only these parents knew that they've named their daughters after bloody stool.......
