names in the ED

I've thought about this often and thought it would make an interesting post.  people are crazy.  i've been  compiling a list of peoples actual names that have wandered their way in the ED over the last few years with some appropriate pronunciation guides as needed to help you out.  this list will help to show you how normal you really are:

Jhailey (JAHALEE)- that's right, hailey with J

Paislee (PAIZLEE) - just seemed odd to me, who wants to be named after a funny squiggle

Qiana (KEYANA) - no pithy comment - just strange

Lacoya (LACOYA) - sounds like something in the arizonan desert

Clerndon - he was only 18yrs old.  but fit the picture - rebel barbed wire tattoo.  did I mention I work in the south?

De'Mya Re'Dreen - that was just her first name (not middle or last) and I didn't ask how to pronounce it with all those apostrophes (which in the south are called - "comma to the top")

Dat - he was asian - but reminded me of that song - "like dis and like dat and like dis and a"

Dorcas (DOORKAS) - Biblical yes - current and relevant no - there might be a root name i'm missing here

Flolita - not aunt flo or lolita - a skewed mixture of both

Prince - not the symbol

Princess - oh yes, she was

Babygirl - so in case you didn't know, all kids are named babygirl(boy) on delivery with your last name - and if you never change it (or grow to like it) you end up with it

Candida - not a flower

Gonorrhea - also not a flower, i guess she could go by rhea for short (of course that has its own problems)

Moose - yes, oh yes

Armani - her sister's name you ask?  Chanel

Sexy - someone was definately high - not a nickname

Female (FUMALEE) - thankfully is was a girl - just an uncreative mother

Abcd (ABEECEEDEE) - that right, the first 4 letters of the alphabet.  that's pretty lazy.  at least she has a vowel in there so people don't think she's foreign.  the better part is that if you say it really fast it sounds like your saying "obesity" - which would be an appropriate term in this case

and two of my personal favorites were twins in the nursery when I was in med school:
Lemonjello & Orangejello - sucks to be them - good thing there wasn't pudding on the hospital menu
