I've definitely had a Savvy and I think the weirdest I ever saw was....

Imma Hog.

One Ima Hogg was the daughter of Texas Governor James Hogg. That name had to be hard to grow up with. I wonder if that's where your patient got the name?

So as a nurse in L&D I quite often get patients and family members who ask about the weirdest names I’ve ever heard/seen.. is discussing this with them a HIPAA violation? Obviously no other information is shared, but I’m just curious where this falls when it comes to HIPAA.

My grandfathers brother was Plezzie and my grandfather was Trezzie. I never had enough family contact to ask how or why. I just assumed it was some long lost motherland name.

There was a Netflix show about names and the effects on children. I don't remember the name of it. It featured Winner and Loser. Loser went by Lou and was a police captain. I think Winner didn't do so well for himself.

Better then the pronunciation of "uh-bee-sity" ?

A child was named Cain, I asked the parent how they chose that name. They said it was a Biblical name. Yes it is.

My actual, blood brother named his son King James...

Twin boys, were named "Sir" & "Mister". Sadly, as they became teenagers, both ended up periodically on the news as juvenile offenders......

I kept looking for the end to this thread, but it goes on forever, so,I'll just post here. I have 2 great grandsons named Kyler Shane and Gunner Dane. Not really that bad but not alot of originality. Actually I,might get them mixed up and it might be Kyler Dane and Gunner Shane. Both adorable little boys. I tried to get the parents to not do the name Gunner. But they wouldn't hear of it.

I remember my grandmother talking about her sisters daughter naming a baby Tasha. My grandmother was always one for a joke, and she said they should call it Tash-hole.
