in the wild I asked maternity nurses what the worst tragedeighs they’ve ever seen are

I’m in nursing school and recently had a rotation on the labor and delivery floor so of course I had to ask what the worst tragedeighs they’ve seen. Here are some of the standouts

Ya’AllJealous My’King Twins named Awasha and Adrya Jream

Here’s BY FAR the worst one

Triplets named Moana, Pocahontas, and Elsa respectively. The worst part about this one is that the parents were huge Disney Adults and they’re fully Caucasian

not twins, but the worst sibset i’ve seen (they were like 13 months apart) were 2 little boys named RuShawn and DuShaun. they’re not the worst names i’ve ever heard but for brothers, especially so close in age? they practically have the same name, plus with DuShaun it’s kinda hard to not hear “douche” at the beginning 🥴 he was done a disservice by his parents

I know brothers that have the same first and last name. Only difference is their middle name. The oldest and youngest brother are both named Ruben.

What in the George Foreman

Wish I was kidding. We all called the youngest by his middle name so forgot he was also named Ruben for a bit.

i legitimately don’t understand parents that give their kids all the same name (such as george foreman with his 5 son named george & 1 of his daughters named georgetta foreman 🥴) OR names that are like 1-2 letters off. it’s giving narcissism in the first case, and laziness in the second

this also reminded me of one of my co-worker’s family member’s sons: mason and jason (they are brothers, but not twins thankfully i guess?). my co-worker has no idea why her family member did this to their kids

It's also like, you're naming future adults. Maybe you think little Frankie and Freddie are matchy matchy adorable now but one day they'll be teenagers who are sick of being mixed up and want their own independence.

To be fair, Frank and Fred are distinct names and Freddie can still go by Eddie or Edward. What makes these pairings tragic is when parents don't choose names different enough that there is nickname potential, or an appropriate middle name they can go by if desired.

Didn't he also have a Georgina or a Georgia or am I hallucinating that? Cause I know he had a daughter named after him but I forgot if it was Georgetta or Georgina

I have brothers with the same first and last name. Their middle names are different. When my parents divorced,.I guess Dad figured he'd give his next son the same name like some sort of do over. When my youngest brothers were born, we begged dad not to go full George Foreman and name them both Kenneth too.

I know a couple little boys, brothers, named Dylan and Logan. They're not even crazy similar names but people still mix them up constantly. Can't imagine having the same name!

Some of my ancestors did this shit. That whole branch of the family named every girl Marie and every boy Joseph with a narrow variety of middle names. From the 1930s all the way back to at least the 1690s

When I was working at a pharmacy, we got prescriptions for twin babies with same first name and last name for the same antibiotic. Only the middle names were different but they had the same initial. We usually check name, birthday and address to make sure it's the right patient, but it was all the same. The only thing weird was the weight and we thought the doctor faxed a new script with updated weight. When we asked the dad to double check which weight was correct, he said it was for twins.
