Funny patient names by nurses

[Kidrn911]

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

First name: "Marijuana"

Went to school with Dusty Rhodes and Kandy Cane.

Have a nephew named Desi Linus - older brother (4 yo) was allowed to pick out the name.

Inadvertantly did it to my own daughter in some fashion. We had agreed on using our middle names as the baby's middle, depending on the sex. When she was born, none of the first names we were considering suited her. She just wasn't an Ariel or Brianna. As it got nearer to the time for discharge, the nurses were pressuring me for a name for the birth certificate. I remembered the name of one of the women in my prenatal class was Haley. When I looked it up it meant full of vitality and was perfect. Merrily we signed all the paperwork and it wasn't until days later that I realized what I had done. You see my middle name is Raine, making her Haley Raine. I guess it's better than Sleety Snow.

The worst has to be the poor kid in high school whose name was Terry Dick. First day of freshman English a new graduate teacher read off the role and called him Harry. The teacher probably wished the floor would open up and swallow him whole. The following week, the kid had legally adopted his mother's maiden name. Talk about your high school nightmares!

I fear doing OB Clinicals this semester. I don't know if I can handle the names. I'd get in trouble for laughing. I'm glad my husband and I picked some reasonable names for our *hopefully soon to be* kids.

I have a grandaughter named India and one named Unique -they are beautiful children and have no teasing problems. I like their names

Ok, my husband is a huge Dallas football and basketball fan. He wants to name our son (if we ever have one) Dallas. Is that weird?

Not as "interesting" as some of the ones I've read, but my sister in law, her parents couldn't decide on a name in time so her birth certificate reads "Infant" as her first name.

My neighbor had a dog named Dee-O-Gee; when asked why he named him that, he said it was because that's what he was: a D-O-G (DOG)!!!:chuckle

One of our nurse practitioners used to keep a list of names that she thought odd, she was an er nurse also---i found the one that topped the list---Da'Nauty Kyss-----:blushkiss

We had twins recently delivered the parents named them Gunner and Shooter

In South Africa we have many people with names such as Gift, Precious, Freedom, Patience, etc. this is because the parents have translated it directly from their home languages into English. I've worked with a nurse aid named Matron and as we still frequently use the term to refer to our Nursing Managers in SA you can see her mom's aspirations for her, but the most unfortunate name must belong to the paediatric surgeon I worked with as a first year student......Dr BUTCHER.

We have a frequent flyer family with the little girl named "Amiracle." Most of the names I see I swear are made up because I have never seen any of them in a baby name book! Of course I always slaughter the pronunciation and get corrected!
