in Baby Names

This is a conversation an attending and two residents were having at the nurses' station in Labor Hall over the weekend.

Attending: M-E-L-A-D-I?

Resident 1: No, M-A-L-A-D-I-I

Attending: Malady???

Resident 1: That can't be right.

Resident 2: Here's her chart: M-E-L-A-D-I-I

Attending: Mi'lady??

Resident 1: Is it like Hawai'i? Me-la-di-i?

Resident 2: It's Melody.

Resident 1 and Attending: Ohhh. Melody.

Resident 2: Yeah, because here the firstborn is Harmanii.

Attending: Wow. Poor kids.

 

In case you thought doctors were all business all the time. Wink

    I never tell a parent on here that their name choice is bad but i have to make an exception today.  Melody and Harmony aren't to terrible but to spell them that way is horrible, poor kids.

    DH is a pediatric nurse so he gets to see all sorts of wacky kids names.  I loved the one day he came home from the ER and went straight for a piece of paper and pen.  After he wrote on it, he handed it to me and asked me to please read the name.  He had written "Diarrhea".  I giggled and read it as any normal person would read it and thought it was a horrible joke.  Apparently, I was wrong.  A woman had named her little girl that but pronounced it Dee-r-ea.

    I guess that same night they also had a set of twin boys come in name Boya (Boy A) and Boyb (Boy B).  Makes me feel a little better about some of my name ideas!

    Lol - when my brothers' sons were born we joked that he was going to name them Pete and Repete.... but Boya and Boyb....

    we raise cattle and once had a set of female twins that we named BabeA [bay-bay]and BaBe [bay-bee] because the A and B were part of their ID numbers.... but Boya and Boyb.....

     Boya and Boyb.....

    Poor kids are going to suffer when they get to school.
    Same with Diarrhea

    Due on July 12, 2012!!! BabyFruit Ticker

    I really, really hope that the Boya/Boyb situation was just an ID issue. I was "Baby B" for a week after birth (twin was "Baby A" - that's what our official hospital bracelets say because it took my parents a week to decide on names due to the shock of having twins - they didn't know until delivery). So yeah, I can feasibly see something like that being put on a bracelet/ID for tiny infants by parents who really will name their kids legit names (just hoping for their sakes).
