Hi, I was wondering about some of those weird names that you've probably encountered in L&D and PP. I remember when I had my maternity rotation a couple of weeks ago, one of the nurses said she remembers a patient that named her child Placenta. I couldn't believe it that some child has to live his life named after disgusting afterbirth!
Former governor of Texas James Hogg DID actually name his daughter Ima. You can look this up for yourself! I am just happy that he didn't have a second daughter....
Not a baby name, but there is a Dr. Foley in my town....he's a UROLOGIST!!LOL
Aja very common name among the black population were I live their newest is Ashanti after a rap singer
What exactly is this supposed to mean? So now we are picking on specific cultures now? I've heard that name around and none of the people were black.
Teresa
I went to school with an America and a Unique and my friend (a pharm tech) had a patient whose name was LaPrecious. He also knew a LaCharlotte.
Why not LaAtrocious...?
P.S. to Bronco:
we have a Dr. Beaver who is an OB/GYN. No kidding.
:chuckle
At the school where I work we had students called O r a n g e j e l l o and L e m o n j e l l o. 4 syllables each. Can you imagine.
Our female Chaplain where I used to work was called Chrys, FINALLY found out what that was short for...
CHRYSANTHIA ANASTACIA (first name pronounced similar to chrisanthimum, second ah-nah-stah-CEE-ah)
Also, that baby name book I mentioned earlier had only one word after the name Hortense...NO!
oh Give me a break not picking on the black population just stating very common names in my area for them not weird
My mom had an aunt named Venetia Leonora Theodosia, and her last name was SMITH!

I suppose Candida's an okay name as long as the last name isn't Albicans. LOL
