Tracey in TX Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 My mother's OBGYN was named Dr. Ovary. One of the doctors who delivered my triplets was Dr. Gerard. Gerard is the Patron Saint of Expectant Mothers. :) He told me he'd bring us good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I did indeed work at a school where there was a little girl named Clinique. Because her mom thought it sounded pretty, as it was something sold in a very expensive (to her) department store. At the risk of sounding cliche', Clinique is sort of elegant and hoity-toity sounding!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I had a friend who wanted her kids to be boxing champions, so she named them "Cody Blade" and "Jory Boss" so they wouldn't have to change their names....when they became champs, that is. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Oh OH Oh...my husband's cousin's first name is Candida. Her mom didn't know it was the name of a yeast infection until AFTER she named her that! Can you IMAGINE the ridicule she received as a teenager?

lionfamily1999 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Ima Hogg (pronounced "I'm a hog) was a governor's daughter from a wealthy, influential Texas family in the late 1800's. Just a cruel and unusual name!!!! Richard Hogg, up the road, sells mobile homes... his plates say RichHog :001_huh: My mother's OBGYN was named Dr. Ovary. I had one named Dr. Kil (kill, that made me super comfortable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Oh OH Oh...my husband's cousin's first name is Candida. Her mom didn't know it was the name of a yeast infection until AFTER she named her that! Can you IMAGINE the ridicule she received as a teenager? At least she could go by Candy, which is a real name. Not very presidential sounding. Or if she has a good middle name, she could go by C. Middlename Lastname. My mother has gone by a self-chosen nickname since she was 15 due to her unusual name given to her because of heritage country tradition (eldest daughter gets maternal grandmother's given name). She even puts that first on legal documents (has all her adult life, so no big deal now). I don't think my grandmother had any idea of how hard that name was. And ugly sounding. Plus, not a female name to begin with. No, I won't tell you as it's that rare some nefarious, anonymous type could find her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLynnTX Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 In Austin, there is a Urologist (think vasectomies, in case it's too early where you live or something) named Dr. Dick Chopp. It is actually Richard, but he goes by Dick. I kid you not!!! http://www.urologyteam.com/our-doctors/dr-richard-chopp.htm I also once had a OBGYN named Dr. Love. And there is another OBGYN named Dr. Casanova.
