Specializes in OB/peds (after gen surgery for 3 yrs).
As a nurse in Wisconsin, I ran across a physician named Dr. Doctor. He had a sister who was a nurse (nurse Doctor).

In my area, there is a pediatric practice with married physicians, both last name: Doctor. So, would you like "MRS Dr. Doctor"? or "MR Dr. Doctor"? Good grief.

I once was assigned a female homecare patient in Arizona whose first name was Arizona. She wasn't born there. I forget where she was from.

When my wife was a resident one spanish speaking pt somewhere heard the word "gastric" and wanted to name her son that. They had to get a priest to talk her out of it. :chuckle

Sammycat, I have heard of Dr. Doctor as well. :uhoh21: I think it might have been spelled differently, though?

THOR is a good norse name. Right up there with Gustav and Odin. In many countries overseas the old names are coming back. Better than 5 Brittaney's like there are in my son's class...

I live in WI also and worked with a nurse in L&D whose last name was spelled Docktor. Maybe that's it?

Oh yes- I almost forgot this one- not a baby name but worth mentioning- there is a gynocologist in my area named Dr. Leroy Stiff (YIKES)!
