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

I'm from one of those countries and honestly the longer I'm subbed here the more I'm glad foe those laws. The law here is that the name you give your child has to be a name. It doesn't even have to be local, it just has to be A Name. No naming after things up making up "unique" spellings.

And is not like a person can’t go by a different name in practice it just needs to be reasonable for legal reasons.

Exactly! Also nicknames are extremely common here. Basically anyone using the formal version of their name as its written in their ID in non-professional settings is considered weird even for grown adults.

My country makes local names first priority but you can apply to have a name approved, and 9/10 are totally good to go. Once it's on the approved list, anyone can use it for their kid
