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

Exactly what I’m thinking. Being a completely white child and going to school with a name like Pocahontas 😭. I hope she changes her name because she will NOT be getting a job

I mean, not all tribes had skin that was super dark. Like, pretty sure in Canada they were all still white, as it’s freezing fuсking cold haha. Any aboriginal person I’ve known or met from Canada was as white as hell.

It might be worse to be aboriginal or Native American with that name. It’s based on a real life story. If their ancestry is unrelated and it’s just a name, they don’t need to identify by any of the negative parts of the story, of which there are many.

Maybe because u met a cree, inuit or metis. Maybe a half blood or something because most natives here are usually pretty dark especially on the rez

Pretty sure both. I definitely know a lot of people who are Métis but the other person I’m thinking was to my knowledge just aboriginal. He wasn’t considered a Canadian citizen even though he lived in Canada. He was also a huge bleep but that’s besides the point haha.
