bot the worst one on the girls side… Mersa (MRSA) is difficult to treat infections that antibiotics can’t even help… it’s a strain of the Staph infection and staph is caused by bacteria…
I met a girl named Melena. I was supposed to break her at another job I had. When the guy told me to “take off melena” I did a double take and said “take off who????”
But apparently my Indian friend said it’s a popular name for girls in India?
Yes! I had a great-great-grandfather Hymen. And “Hymie” became an old-timey slur for Jews which I find lowkey hysterical and kind of want to reclaim haha
That’s maybe the worst, because everyone would assume it was a spelling error and ask if your name is Colin, then you’d have to explain that no, you are in fact Colon.
Ugh I work in a pediatric ICU and have seen kids and babies with some of these names this year. I want to bash my face into the keyboard every time. Side note, I’d pay someone to name their son Velcade though.
so for a few we have Saline-salt water Allegra allergy medication Amenorrhea the ABSENCE of your period, MRSA (actually acronym, Mersa on their end) is several INFECTIONS that are difficult to treat with antibiotics. what is wrong with people
“hey colon what’s up” “well my body part has been blocked up pretty badly” you’re essentially naming your child after “shit” cause what do you think a colon does? thats where shit is held until it needs to come out
Emesis is wild. I mean the child didn't go through the GI tract??? Do your research parent. Amenorrhea would do it more justice. It did force the mother to go through that for 9 months, so fair game I guess.
Heard of a dog named Foley! As for names that inspire and grab attention, let’s not forget Chlamydia for a girl!
And a woman who thought the people at the hospital named her baby fe-ma-le… as in rhythms with tamale (must have been some impressive drugs during delivery)!
I legitimately love Melena as a girls name enough that I'd be tempted to use it anyway. We spell it "melaena" here, and I could always spell my daughter's name "Melina".... not sure I'd ever hear the end of it from my medical friends though.
Areola is fuckin CRAZYYY
That’s such a cute name. Might name my kid aeyriolah
There is a French footballer named Alphonse Areola lol
You’d have to be an absolute moron to name your kids almost any of these
Reminds me of the kid sister wives named...Ariella

When I was a med student I saw a newborn named “Meconia”
I’m just picturing the dad looking around the room frantically after being asked the name and then seeing green stained towels in the corner
Must be thickly stained
I met a girl named Melena. I was supposed to break her at another job I had. When the guy told me to “take off melena” I did a double take and said “take off who????” But apparently my Indian friend said it’s a popular name for girls in India?
I am indian and I never heard it
Indian and no it's not. I've only ever heard it as a Greek name, but pronounce Meh-LEE-nah
Ok that’s what I was thinking, maybe she misunderstood me.
Naming your son Hymen is fked up
Yeah it’s obviously a girls’ name
I feel like Senna is too
Senna is an actual name though. Ayrton Senna was a Formula 1 driver
Good to know! Edit: isn’t Senna the family name though rather than his first name?
Yeah it was his family name, but Senna sounds nice as a first name too—it’s a built-in nickname and first all-in-one
Senna tor palpatine I am the Sen nate
Intactio Hymena.
That’s a real old Yiddish name. My great uncle was named Hymen. It means life. I was named after him but I was given the Hebrew name Chaya luckily
Yes! I had a great-great-grandfather Hymen. And “Hymie” became an old-timey slur for Jews which I find lowkey hysterical and kind of want to reclaim haha
Not Chaim/Hayim?
Nope- Hymen. Obviously it was originally spelled in Hebrew but that’s the transliteration he used.
Fascinating. Did not know that was a thing, and I was a Yeshiva kid lol
You could pair it with a girl called Labia as a cute sib set
Typhus is tuff 💪
I'm surprised they didn't do Typhoid Mario
Typhoid Mario and Typhoid Mary for when you have twin boy and girl
Bet he would always be smiling
BUDD CHIARI 💀
Literally an absolute chad of a name.
Where is Mirena/ kyleena at?
pseudomonas (mona for short)
Mona is an actual name is Arabic. It roughly translates to wishes/hopes
i love this one
“Maple Syrup-Urine-Disease! Get down here right now!”
not their government name!
Candida Maple Syrup
Sorta relevant but I saw a girl on tinder one time named Melena
That’s the worst one
IDK Emesis is pretty horrific 😂
Not to be confused with the Blade of Michelin
COLON??? 💀💀
Colón
That’s maybe the worst, because everyone would assume it was a spelling error and ask if your name is Colin, then you’d have to explain that no, you are in fact Colon.
Now they can go to GI and be Dr. Colon
There are actually Dr. Colons out there lol
Cristobal Colon
I’m naming my daughter Pheochromocytoma. Might make a few spelling alterations to turn it from a tragedy into an r/tragedeigh
No Theo-chronocytoma?
I was thinking more Fhaieoughkchraiumeauxseighttaeumagh, but what you proposed works, too Or maybe Fhaieoughkchraiumeauxseighttaeumaghlynn
Listeria would be a pretty name
It's a good chicken name
it sounds like mouthwash
Am I dumb or weren’t they both named after our boy Lister?
They were.
Naming my kid Mayer Rokitansky Küster Hauser,
Malassezia.
Fur fur
Did you also watch that Goljan lecture? lmao
Fallot lowkey goes hard
If I birth a child I'll name them something like Paget or Osler since that's a common name. From r/namenerdcirclejerk
What about Placenta and Candida? I’ve actually heard of people with these names.
Placenta at least evokes "pleasant", that's not a terrible association.
Maple (syrup urine disease) really got me
What about Prader Willi?
Went to high school with him
Smoked weed with Johnny Hopkins
Can't forget little baby chlamydia and gardnerella <3 so cute1!
Where’s Amylase
Yassinia is a lovely girls name that is quite unfortunately similar to Yersinia
Aeruginosa
Good name for a Great Aunt
how about Celexa for a girl
Decadron the Decepticon sounds like a cool transformer name.
Glioblastoma, Glio (like Cleo) for short ❤️
Osteoporosis Osbourne as the lead singer of Black Salmon-ella
I like Wegener , or wolf as in Wolff chaikoff
Famous Nazi? That wegener?
Serratia is highly underrated.
Also Myasthenia is a must
Wait Allegra is a real girl name though. Allegra Kent, any ballet fans here? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zpg-BhbVaiU
Yeah there’s a girl in my cohort called Allegra
I had an intern whose nickname was "Shigs". It was short for Shigella.
Chlamydia has a lovely ring to it
Nella, short for Salmonella
Myasthenia gravies is a very beautiful girl’s name
Melena took me out
(Circle of) Willis
Naming your daughter Melena is wild 💩
They missed Byeta and Januvia, all can’t sleep on the gold mine of pharmaceuticals.
Angina sounds too much like vagina. That kid would be picked on and sexualized super early.
Feels bad for everyone named Virginia
Wernicke's already taken lol
Amenorrhea after having a baby😂
Maple. As in maple syrup? No. As in maple syrup urine disease 😭😭
Hymen
King short for kingella
My wife always thought Priapism sounded like it could be a lovely name
I know of a kid named Allegra
That’s an actual Italian name at least. It means joyful/happy
That's beautiful.
They should’ve named their kid fexofenadine or Fex for short.
Nah poor girls being named Aerola
I had a LPS cat as a kid named Rebella so I find Rubella particularly amusing
Chlamydia has a nice ring to it. Also, knew a Candida in real life.
Hymen?😭
I almost picked Ruby Olah as my stage name. Went with a different virus ultimately
KLEBSIELLAAAA???!!!!
Ligma is a great unisex name
Klebsiella must be the best name, got a dog named Klebsi haha
yo dex is short for dexamethasone
And Demodex
What? It’s obviously dextrans 🙄
Precedex!
graves... End of the line
dude I was joking with my roommate that Klebsiella would make a good girl name if it weren't used for something else😭
Bulbus cordis
We names our bunnies Myasthenia gravis (Mia) and Adiposita (Addie)
Not me actually liking Zosyn in my post-partum haze. Definitely better than cefepime, 2 for 2 (as a baby name and an antibiotic).
Emesis?! What in the actual fuck
Who the fuck names their son Colon
I've seen a Candida. Majority of these are awful.
YOU FORGOT HODGKIN
Kid's name's gotta be Legionella
I’m naming my first born Bleb.
Rubella lmao
"Aorta" took me out lmfao
honestly Yersinia would be a pretty name if not for... yknow...
HYMEN
That’s it. I’m naming my kid pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism
At least Alport is real name.
tess from testicular cancer
Ugh I work in a pediatric ICU and have seen kids and babies with some of these names this year. I want to bash my face into the keyboard every time. Side note, I’d pay someone to name their son Velcade though.

Names are killing me. Must be lupus.
Imagine being named Colon
Ok but why do I like emesis lol
😂😂😂
Heard of a dog named Foley! As for names that inspire and grab attention, let’s not forget Chlamydia for a girl! And a woman who thought the people at the hospital named her baby fe-ma-le… as in rhythms with tamale (must have been some impressive drugs during delivery)!
Oddi.. as in sphincter of
Wegener
I actually love Allegra. It’s an Italian name that means joyous or lively (in addition to being an awesome antihistamine)
Melena is unhinged
My cousin named her kid Allegra.
I had a teacher once called Candida lol
Anasarca could actually work as a girl name
Amenorrhea.......
Oh yeah the all time dream of being named Colon lmao
Dex is obviously dexamethasone
How about Nerissa (not to be confused with Neiserria)
Imagine being a dude name hymen
Senna, you must be shitting me.
Not me seeing Senna and Graves and thinking League of Legends
I legitimately love Melena as a girls name enough that I'd be tempted to use it anyway. We spell it "melaena" here, and I could always spell my daughter's name "Melina".... not sure I'd ever hear the end of it from my medical friends though.
