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.

I have of Shithead Pronounced shathead, Asshole prounounced assouly

Lovie Butt

what are some good ones you have heard

I lived near a small town in Illinois where there were 2 dentists with offices on Main Street. One was named Dr. Curt Gronner (pronounced groaner) and the other was Dr. Fillmore Ketola (the spelling is right). This was in the 50's. I always wondered whether their names had anything to do with their professions.

When I was in nursing school, I heard the story of a woman who heard the nurses use the word "Meconium" when her daughter was born. You guessed it, that was what she named her!

I once took care of a little boy named Neon. I see really unusual spellings more than I see really unusual names...Kgauge (Gage), Brytkneigh (Brittany), Dayvod (David), Meloni (Melanie), Tielor (Tyler)...just to name a few!

:)

In the case of Brittany, I believe that is how it is spelt in Galic... Dayvod is Welsh... not sure about the others but they too might just be the 'non-english-ised' versions of names.

The newest "strange" name around here ODESSA TX is Nevaeh, Heaven backwards. I worked with a Sweetie Lovejoy, truth. We also had a mother that had twin and they were Joe Albert and Joe Alfred, then 2 years later a Joe Anthony, and the father was not Joe!

I work with animals. If you think that people give their children weird names, look through the files at a vet hospital. We have a horse named "Peckerhead", a dog named "Budlight", several cats named "Freeway", "Highway", with couple of "No-way's" in the bunch, a snake named "member", another dog named "Sex" and this right along with pets named "Tasha", "Cody", "Kodi", "Codee", "Codi" (there are many ways to spell Cody and of course the owner expects you to know how to spell the particular Cody). Then there are all the interesting ways to spell Cheyenne, Dakota, Tilly, Millie, and of course Cat. Pets named, "Sweetums", "Baby", "Sweetie", or "Sugar" usually require a muzzle because they have a tendency to bite. Meanwhile those that are named "Killer", "Macho", "Harley", or "Meanie" are great to work with. We don't see any "Fido"s but we see quite a few "Pheido"s. I wonder about pet owners sometimes. Is it "Lassie" or "Lassy"?

I had a patient once whose name was "Hair Lloyd".....he said his mother couldn't spell and evidently neither could the mid-wife that delivered him. His name was suppose to be "Harold".....hehehehehe

the 16 year old girl, totally unprepared, and not concerned with the responsibilities of motherhood, who didn't have a name for her baby girl, who while watching TV in her room, decided on "fabreze" during a commercial. I heard baby "fabreze" doesn't live with her natural mommie anymore. LOL

This is probably another one of those "urban legend."

One mother, dazed after delivering her child, heard a beautiful sounding word and wanted to name her baby .... lady parts.

The nurse talked her into naming her baby Ragina.
