Specializes in NICU.

We had twins Stormy and Breezy, who also lived up to their names.

One I'll never forget, was Raven Cheyenne. Hydrocephalic and unwanted by her parents. She lived for 7 months, longer than anyone expected.

Specializes in Neuro.

My grandmother's name is Fairy Elaine (she goes by Elaine), I know a guy named Major Lee Back, I went to elementary school with Vu Do (Voo Doo), who had a sister named Vi Do...

There's also a girl who calls into my office at work a lot whose last name is Assman (pronounced Oz-man). I'm always very careful to identify her by her first name to avoid mispronouncing the last name!!

But I love your name! I think it is very pretty. What in the world were you teased about?

My husband LOVES the name Brandy. So, if we ever have a girl, he wants to name her that. BUT, I don't want her to get teased. We already have people tell us that their dog's name is Brandy. Or they say stuff like "Brandy wine". I hate that! Names that are are so pretty can just get ripped to shreds!

I had a patient with the first name Dorkus, can you imagine how she was teased in school? Poor lady! :o

Must be an old name -- I was doing genealogy research and I have an ancestor named Dorkus -- a female name -- and I think they were German. Still not a name I would revive!
