Healthcare workers pronouncing patient names = patients pronouncing meds lol
I figured someone else beat me to this comment. But seriously, the expert knows because they deal with it all the time. Newbie needs more help. And that is okay.
OH WAIT TRUE LMAOOO
Fair enough 🤷
Ohhhhhh Not always accurate. Last ER visit, the nurse saw my meds listed on the computer & I heard her trying to sound it out, like it was SANSKRIT or something & I'm just going 'O.o really?'
ABCDE
These names aren’t just tragedeighs, they’re murghdyrrs
Took me a while to decipher what you were saying XD
🤣🤣🤣
Aww, you are also in my favorite Facebook group! 👋
They're borderline sighkotick.
🤣 I'm in that group, too!
If healthcare workers were allowed to turn people away because of how strange their names are, I’d be dead
God I could imagine the fun at schools, court and hospitals
Especially in Brazil, cuz your name is a synonym of penis here lol
Isn't Bilal a normal name? Or do spell it B-lull?
Never heard that one before, so you abbreviate it around friends?
Eh I've heard of your name before
I once had a patient whose name was Pancake and I thought it was going to be spelled weird but it was legitimately just Pancake like the food. Then about a week after Pancake, someone came in and they said their name was “Sa-Fy-less” and I asked how they spelled that and they go S-Y-P-H-I-L-I-S. Syphilis. It took everything I had inside of me to control my face from outwardly reacting to my inner thoughts.
They went through their whole lives... with syphilis....as a name....? That's some cruel AF parents 😅
Pancake was on Murray back in the day. Just scrolling channels, abd there she was proving who was the father. I actually stopped because of her name. Lol.
@@maggieavilla1336 I’m not sure which is worse. The fact that she might have also been on Maury, or the fact that there are multiple Pancakes.
Pancake = awkward. Syphilis, though, there's a gotta be special place for the person that tacked that name onto someone!
Oh, I remember two stories about "names". One came from a nun who taught in Philadelphia. A woman she was teaching to read had bumped into the Sister years later and told her about her son. Boy's name was Noz Mo King. Sister asked if it was was a family name, lady responds she saw it on a sign....No Smoking
And then there was a paramedic friend who was in ER when parent had two children in for treatment. La Mon & O raan Ja'lo pronunciation but spelled Lemon & Orange Jello.
Yep, real life got nothing on fiction

@@Ramen_KittenI just make it easier bc even if they do learn to say it right idrc, as long as they don’t say shit mockingly you can call me Emily for all I care 💀
@@stalfithrildi5366that's a bit different though since those aren't English names. Emily is an English name, MLE is a Machine Learning Engineer.
Suddenly the rules in Germany for names sound good and logic
Yep.
German spelling is so logic for starters. Makes any such rule much more acceptable 🤗 That the one thing I always praise when I say I learn German. You never have to guess
Which are those?
@@jkl-pe7yq only established Names, in Germany or your native country if you immigrate, or names that are family traditional like combine name of your father with the word son (juergenson for example) only if it is traditional in family. Also a Name Must be clear on gender. Male baby can not be named female name. Neutral names like „Alex“ only if second name makes clear what gender.
@@jurgenweimann3627 Interesting, Ty.
Yeap, their parents should have been slapped when they put their kids names down on the birth certificate.
Doctor: I just need you to write in the baby's name and then we can file the birth certificate.
Mother: *writes in name*
Doctor: Thank you ma'am- *reads* Okay, one more thing. *slaps the mother* Oh, the father is here too; another thing real quick. *slaps the father*
Parents: What was that for?
Doctor: Thats the prescription for your child's emotional development.
Or the kids changing their names them selves more common now
in my country administration is quite strict with what's ok or not to name your child, spelling included. It has become a bit more opened these last years but it's mainly that when you hear a name you can't be 100% sure of how to spell it, not the other way around.
When parents are illiterate.
Or hate there kids
@@skeletonwarlock5741 how are you gonna hate your kid the moment it’s born
@@llab3903 Some people hate them before they're born, sadly.
@@skeletonwarlock5741 lol
@@llab3903 Some people arent meant to have kids. But have them anyway.
“Can you spell?” “Guess not.” IM CRYING
This could not be more accurate. They really have the audacity to be mad at you too when you pronounce it or spell it wrong.
I was at a doctor, and after around 10 difficult names in a row, the doc gets to one. "Row-BINE?" A teen looked up. "Uh... it's just Robin. Really, we're not all weird."
“A-A-Ron? Where A-A-Ron at?”
Oop lol
Raw-bin 😂😂😂
@@evilsharkey8954 YOU DONE MESSED UP A-A-RON!!!

And that's exactly why government officials in Poland can decline a name you want to name your baby with. Like literally, there are SEVERAL law articles concerning it
Same here in Finland. And still sometimes you read someone's name written somewhere and wonder how one got away...
And as I understand, it's pretty easy to petition to have a name added, it just needs to be... Not stupid. "Emily", "Odyssey", "Ricky" all fine names.
You wanna get weird/creative, name your kid "Moon Unit" or "Blue Ivy". Both unusual, but like... Legible.
@@chibinecco1981 one Russian wack-a- doodle couple tried to name their first born son as a series of letters and numbers, like an effing password or s concentration camp lable. Naturally the government said F No. Those laws are common sense and exist everywhere.
@@chibinecco1981 the names are fine (besides odyssey). The spellings not so much.
@@chibinecco1981 Very fair like why be quirky if it’s just gonna fuck with your child and everyone around them. Tbh I don’t think I’d mind being named Blue Ivy sounds dope and like who tf else would you know with the same name? Lol
Reminds me of that time some lady sued an airline for laughing at her daughter's name which was literally Abcd 😆
If you say it fast enough it sounds like "obesity" 😭😆😱😄
Lol there’s an Abcdee at my job 😂
LMAO that lady is from the city I live in El Paso Texas!! She was big mad! Like excuse me lady you the one who named your kid after the alphabet!!!

In that case I would just ask whoever hates their parents the most to follow me.
There's needs to be someone that's in charge of keeping parents from naming and spelling their kids names stupidly.
In most European countries that someone is the government. You can't name your child whatever you want. You have to either choose one that already exists (we have a book with every allowed name) or you have to apply for it and get it approved.
@@tychoderkommentator2989 That's good. I don't think the US has one of those.
I am just amazed when some people get offended when you cannot pronounce their name.
@tychoderkommentator2989 like even most Mexican states regulate names, at the very least we shouldn't have all these batman and Goku running around
Thing is, it’s all a matter of opinion. Where are you gonna draw the line? What’s stupid to you might not be stupid to someone else so this doesn’t really work either.
Dear Americans, that's why most countries can deny names.
Most of them abuse it

@@AuroraLaluneGive us examples mate, in which instance?
@@KTMoon996indeed
People should be able to name themselves whatever they want, but they shouldn’t expect people to pronounce their name correctly the first time, which I’m willing to bet most don’t expect anyway.
Plot twist: This was a mental hospital and they were all hallucinating it to be an ER
My aunt who was a nurse had a patient who wanted to named her daughter PLACENTA.
It was a pretty name. My aunt with other nurses talked the woman out of it. Those nurses saved that girl a lifetime of ridicule.
Nice name, gross reality 😂
Back in the landline days, it was easy to weed out telemarketers who'd mispronounce my husband's name, "nope, no one by that name here!" *Click*
“Do we got a shit head?”
“Actually it’s sha-theed ✨”
My mom worked with a Shithead 😅 in a family practice
A teacher once thought my friend Jared's names was pronounced jarred.
I've heard this one! How?!?! 😂
I have heard of 3 kids with this name. I think it is an ethnic/non-english language name. Poor kiddos.
My husband's coworker's name was Somporn. She's Thai.
As someone who works in healthcare, I see this all the time sadly. I don't think parents take into consideration how cruel kids/people can be when they name their kids these "unique" names. I just hope they can pay for their therapy later.
it's not always the parents, both my kids have changed how they wrote their names...it's usual just a phase, but some go to court to change it.
You should see the ones who mix their names on their daughters 💀 PAULesha TYRONEsha 😩 kendricka 😩 rickalya
I mean. I'm legally changing my name to Irony 🤷♂️
When admitting someone to our floor, we ask the patient what they prefer to be called and how to spell it , when we write it on the white board. We’ve had a Spider, Monster ( both bikers) and a Doc ( his initials spelled D O C).
It's usually their last name that causes a need for therapy.
The A-DCT of this guy 🤣
"Of course it is" fuuuuuccking killed me
I work in a doctor’s office. What aggravates me is when you say a name wrong and they have the nerve to get mad. Come on now, you know that isn’t a common spelling or name. Correct us politely and let’s move on.
I always brush off getting my weird first name mispronounced. Don't get why people would get mad. Guess some folks haven't been called worse things. 😅
Misplaced anger at their parents for doing that to them lol
@@wayIess guess not. 🤣🤣
@@rivertam7827 right! 🤣🤣
When I worked triage and would call a name that was ridiculous and if they copped an attitude w/me, my response back was “if you want your name pronounced correctly than get a name that can be easily pronounced”. I usually just got a hanging open jaw either b/c they were shocked someone said that to them or it was a “wow, never thought of that, duh”.
Some people just put a KICK ME sign on their kid at birth
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you! I laughed so hard it woke up the dog!
I don't understand why parents give their babies weird unusual names. That's the beauty of the USA, it's our choice
@@julialibor9341 i wanna adopt a boy, even if its an older little dude, i wamna 'rename' him 'Sunny'!
ur allowed to, and i cant get over 'sunny' being a gender neutral name! but its not as weird as 'ice cube'?

I was waiting for “Le-a” (“Ledasha”, the dash is said aloud)
My first name is pretty normal, but my last name put me in the category of students who knew to say "present" when a teacher paused during roll call.
Oh lord, me too.
That little pause, and my hand just automatically went up
You can see the moment the nurse realized he doesn't get paid enough for that 😂
When workers inhale sharply and brace themselves before calling a name, I know it's my turn.
So your parents really named you Smulenify? Damn man that's rough.
@@LeatherSoup-c5j if only, it's way worse.
Please share your name with the class
@@Smulenify share with the class
@@Smulenifyplease share op I can't die without knowing your shameful name
This took me back to my days as a substitute teacher. I swear some people hate their kids and intentionally misspell their names just to make life more difficult for them. Or they really really hate their kids and give them really embarrassing names. I dreaded having to take role. I did a little happy dance when a teacher would leave me a seating chart with the students name and picture on it. Best thing ever.
My mother actually regrets giving me the name she did because she was unaware that there were 2 pronunciations and approximately 2 million different spellings. When I was little I had a habit of introducing myself by saying my name and then spelling it aloud
@@amethyst_cat9532 I did the same. Then I’d have to have an annoyingly long conversation about my name’s origins and how to say it.
I’m also a sub. I once had a class where I called out roll: “Marcus” (here), next line” “Marcus”. I look up, confused, thinking it was a mistake to see the exact first and last name. Then I see these two guys sitting by each other who look alike. Turns out their mom just didn’t want to deal with telling their names apart 🤯.
@@katesansom3841Funny story, when I started first grade there were two people who had the exact same name, first and last, and where born on the same day. I’m pretty sure they weren’t related at all though. We also had two other people with the same first name, they did not share a last name.
Funny thing is we had the two people who had the exact same name go out and do a challenge to decide who would change their name, but not the other two who shared a name.
(I hope this is coherent, I am very tired and English is not my first language)
@@cursedbluecheese Wow 😂
That's some Idiocracy naming right there
What's really fun is having an uncommon name that's similar to a common name but with a one or two letter difference that changes the way you say it. That's three out of my four names.
Tough Steve is the Steve we want to take home, wrap in a blanket, and feed until he forgets he works in a hospital and can be happy for a while lol
Lmao this is like the opposite of that key + peele "ay-ay-ron" skit 😂😂 just hilarious
That's so funny. 😅
Some people should never be allowed to name their kids
In Denmark if you want to name your kid you either need to pick from a pre-approved list or spply to have it approved. I feel like it is to avoid names like this, but also avoid names that are easy to use for bullying.
In some cases, they are. My grandma wanted to name my aunt Senia, because of a telenovela that she liked "Yesenia". The judge said hell no, he told my grandpa that he was naming a baby, not a farm animal and then named her Rosa María after two virgins LOL
@@peli201 Yeah definitely not perfect, but she might just have been ahead of her time since it seems some people were successful in being allowed to name their child that.
@@HellsingRuler yeah, there's a lot of Senia's now. That judge was bossy af, he also named my mom lol
@@peli201 And a different judge may very well have had a different opinion. People can be weird, annoying or downright assholes sometimes, all depends on the day for some.
I remember seeing Erica spelled Airwrecka somewhere. And who could forget Ryfyll? Quite the pistol, that 2nd one!😉
*A-DC* I can’t lmao 😂
All ERs have a fireplace. 😂
They're called incinerators.
Had a patient named Anfernie (I think mom was trying for Anthony), and a Velveeta (mom musta liked the cheese). Worked with a guy named Chris. Only problem was his last name was Go. Nice guy. Good sense of humor about it.
😂 his name was a full on dad joke, I betcha. He was born & his dad was like "this will be epic" 😂
i work at dq so we get cake orders like crazy and i swear all the names are either “john” or they’re the most ridiculous thing ever like for example the other day: “maggic”
"Maggic"? Was this a written order? Any chance it was meant to be "Maggie"?
I tend to order with my mom's name since it's only 5 letters since mine is hard to pronounce for most people. 😅
The faces you pull...priceless🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you can think of more names you should do more of these they’re hilarious!!!🤣
This almost sounds like a reverse Kay and Peele sketch.

Steve is going to feel so weird in a few years when he meets a parent who watched these videos and fell in love with one of those names.

The Rice one took me out 🤣
I worked in child support for 15 years, these aren't even the weirdest names. Hospitals should have a policy against mothers naming their children right after giving birth when they're delirious.
An RN friend said there was a new mother that wanted to name her daughter “Vagina”. 😳
I was named by committee lol. My mom told my family to decide she was too high. Jokes on them I'm trans haha , deadname now

He should do a bunch of these where he pronounces the names incorrectly and then one where he gets even the most ridiculous names right and everyone is shocked.
And he says something like, “yeah, I’ve seen it all” 😂
When I was a ward clerk, one clinic we had a new patient who was a tourist from Ireland. She was shocked when I easily and correctly pronounced her name.
Sometimes it's the little things that really makes your day.
I swear, you crack me up every time! The words are great and funny but you do disgust face better than anyone! 😂😂

Kahoot names in class be like:
I have a cousin with the initials ME, specifically so my aunt could call her Emmy.
Weirdly enough, I have a cousin with a similar thing. Her initials before she got married were ED, and her first name is rather long. So when she was a young kid, she began putting ED on the name line for school work bc it was easier and faster, and still had the same ability to identify her. So some of the older relatives started calling her Ed. A few of them still do occasionally. Lol
