I don't very often quote online comments, but this one was right on:

Quote:
 
Poor kid, sadly a birthday cake denial will be this child's least worry. A birthday cake denied will only be the very beginning of a host of other denials that will be almost constant because of his selfish parents. These two so call parents either don't have a clue just what they have done or they simply just don't care. As I always said ignorance is bliss. These names they have selected for their children speaks volumes of their mental capacity. It appears their physical disability is nothing compare to their mind state.

Yes, I quite agree with the comment.

How can you do this to your own children? I am really sorry for the kids.


I am surprised, though, that it seems to be no problem to actually give your child this name in the US. Are there no restrictions whatsoever? I.e., is it possible to use every string of characters as a name for my child? E.g., could I call my child Kdfoowqioqweqjdkjk? What about the N-word, or "Orgasm", or "Fvck"?

At least in this country, you can legally change your name once you become an adult. I went to school with a kid named Donald Duck.

Calling Dr. Doctor
By Howard Bennet, MD



A few months ago, I read a funny article about people who take poetic license with their use of the title "Doctor." In his travels through the phone book, the author found not only a "Pet Doktor" and a "Bike Doctor," but he also discovered someone who billed himself as "The Rug Doctor."

After reading this article, I began thinking about the humorous implications of people's names. For example, although Joseph Heller created a fictional character named Major Major in his novel Catch-22, there actually are physicians in this country named Doctor (18 to be exact). Realizing that this was probably just the tip of the iceberg, I decided to find out how far this Dr. Doctor thing might go. So, with pen in hand, I spent a weekend flipping through the 1990 edition of the American Medical Directory of Physicians in the United States.

The first thing I learned during my research is that there are a lot of doctors in this country. Although I did not get page turner's tendonitis, I did need a stiff drink by the time I reached the Zs. I also learned that doctors' names often bear an interesting relationship to what they do for a living.

There are 22 doctors in the United States named Needle, Probe, Lance and Ligate. Not to be outdone by such simple procedures, there are another 20 named Drill, Scope, Bolt and Pin. I couldn't find anyone named Cut or Clamp, but there are three doctors named Drain.

Many doctors have names that are more generic and, I might add, quite appealing from the patient's point of view. I found 19 physicians named Fix, Cure or Heal. If any of them formed a group with those named Brilliant (6), Able (6), or Best (62), there's no telling 'how popular their practice might be. It goes without saying that they would have a clear advantage over the 9 doctors named Klutz, Croak, Blunt and Blewitt.

Doctors' names often say a lot about the type of medicine they practice. I found a dermatologist named Rash, a rheumatologist named Knee, and an orthopedic surgeon named Bone. My favorites, however, were a psychiatrist named Couch and an anesthesiologist named Gass. Nevertheless, a doctor's name does not always correspond with his or her specialty. There are 10 doctors named Blood, but none of them are hematologists. Similarly, of 11 doctors named Dust, Mold and Pollen, none are allergists. I also discovered a handful of doctors named Eye (3), Nose (2), Tongue (2), Kidney (1), Stool (4), and Surgeon (1), none of whom work in the area suggested by their name. The best in this category belong to Drs. Briss (1) and Stream (4), who, I'm sorry to say, are not urologists.

Sometimes a doctor's initials can be more revealing than his name. I found an obstetrician with the initials R.O.A., a cardiologist with the initials E.C.G., and a neurologist with the initials C.N.S. There is also a surgeon out there who can sign his orders N.P.O. On the other hand, there are no internists with the initials F.U.O., and I couldn't find anyone, not even a pathologist, with the initials QN.S.

Given my affiliation with a medical center, I was interested in those names that had an academic ring to them. Although I didn't find anyone named Publish, there is a physician in this country named Perish. This is fitting, I suppose, because I couldn't find anyone named Tenure either. I did find lots of Grants, however, something my colleagues say are in short supply these days. I also found 3 Deans, 1 Teacher and 48 doctors named Pearl. Given that medical students often complain about their preceptors, the abundance of Pearls seems to balance out the 20 doctors named Bicker, Gripe, Fuss and Grill.

Some doctors have names that might create a little confusion in the places where they
work. Imagine what people think when an operator pages Dr. Page (140) or when the ER puts in a stat call for Dr. Stat (1). How would patients react if they shout "Nurse!" and Dr. Nurse (3) is the one who shows up as they're fumbling with their bedpan? Other names that probably raise a few eyebrows from time to time include the 65 doctors named Flesh, Gore, Ache and Looney. Finally, should you develop chest pain in the middle of the night, whom would you rather meet in the emergency room, Dr. Code (5) or Dr. Crump (29)?

It was amusing to note what would happen if particular doctors got together either as co-authors on a paper or as colleagues in an office. Possible combinations include Vital (2) and Signs (1), and Brain (1) and Stem (5), as well as the more interesting Laurel and Hardy (4), and Abbott and Costello (46). 1 also found 61 doctors named Marx, though I couldn't determine if any of them are brothers.

The next time you send in a check to cover your escalating malpractice insurance, consider the irony in this: There are 43 doctors in the United States named judge or jury. I couldn't find any Attorneys, but that shouldn't be a problem since they never have any trouble finding us.

If all this is giving you indigestion, perhaps you should give your own doctor a call. However, if his name is Placebo, just take some Maalox and call it a night.

One oddball name that I actually liked when I heard it was Crystal Chandel Lear. I had a coach in college named Earl E. Birdie and he must have liked it because he always used his middle initial.

George, we were so poor the mailman would not leave the Sears Catalog, he knew we couldn't afford any thing in it anyway.

I love the way this thread is going.

We did have the Sears Roebuck catalog. If that wasn't to be found, there were always the lingerie ads in my grandmother's Ladies Home Journal.

Hey George, if you thought the thread strayed before wait until you hear this. Speaking of the Sears Catalog, I read in an article a few years back that Hollywood uses the Sears Catalog for reference on clothing when they do a period movie. Also Furniture and appliances.
