In L&D I took care of a woman having a baby. The mom's name was Baby Girl Taylor, then she ended up having a baby girl. You can imagine the confusion in the lab--"Uh, we don't do type and screens on admission on babies"-"No, that's the mom"-"It says Baby Girl"-and so forth. I'll never forget her.
Also a girl named lady parts-rhymes with Regina.

My sister had a friend in college named Chrystal Shanda Lear.
I'm sure there's some therapy involved in that one now.

Oh yes, I have heard the Crystal Shanda Lear one before. And what about Ida Drover, Ima Whore, Rose Bush, Ben Dover, Harry Butt, and the rest of them? It's kinda sad that fifty people know someone with a name like these...that means it wasn't only one set of crazy parents!

Heard of one in L&D...English was NOT her first language. She named her Baby Nos Mo King. She apparently had read the "sign" all during labor.......NO SMOKING!
Went to school with a guy named William William Williams! Apparently it was a family name!
Also, knew a guy named Richard Head. Of course everyone always called him Dick!!!
Yes, I went to school with someone named Abbas Abbas Abbas. His sister was named Hyatt Abbas Abbas. Nice people...it was a cultural thing I guess. Still see them around town! People used to call him Abbas cubed...

My choirmaster when I was younger was Doctor Don Donald Donaldson. He was married to Debbie and they had four daughters, all with "D" names.
My hubby sees a lot of names because he's a Social Security Disability examiner - he SWEARS that he's seen the names Orangejello, and Lemonjello. He says they're pronounced "Or=ANjh-ello" and "Le-MONge-ello"
He's a relatively truthful man, but I've never met these people.

I have a friend, who, when she got married, kept her maiden name and hyphenated the two......
Lisa Howland-Bender.....
I don't know if this is as funny to you as it is to me, but it really fits her............

We had two Docs in house that always seemed to be making rounds at the same time. Dr. Love and Dr. Kiss. We have a urologist whose name is Dr. Fawcet and a cardiologist whose name is Dr. Buffer.(older nurses will remember the cardiac step down units were called buffer units).

My mother is a teacher and swears she had two twins in her class at one time and their names were...
Lem-ahn-jello (Lemonjello) and Or-ahn-jello (Orangello)!
We also have an OB whose last name is "Payne". Guess who I didn't pick when it came time to have my babies?!
