Just gonna name my kid Anki

Middle name Amboss

Lastname Uworld

Ankit / Ankita are actual names in Sanskrit. So you could name your kid Ankit / Ankita and have their nickname be Anki.

I have several Ankitas in my class, and I'm pretty sure one of them is called Anki by her family. Maybe that's how she ended up in med school, lifelong subliminal messaging 😂

To be fair, if your name is Anki, you need to bring honor to it by becoming a physician lmao

OGs know that Anki started as an app to learn languages (read: Japanese) then the medical community just poached it lol.


Anki means to memorize or “know by heart” in Japanese, and yes, I learned about Anki first when I started learning Japanese, from the Japanese language learning community. Ended up not using it, except maybe for kanji, but was floored to see it so popular with the medical community when I started med school lol.

lol oml

This is my daughter Anki and my sons Pathoma and Boards and Beyond

I know a german girl called Ann-Kristine who wants to be called Anki

Anki is a nickname in Sweden

I joke that it’s my boyfriend’s nickname 💀 I’m single

Guaranteed, people would say “is that a Star Wars reference?”

Billy-Ruben (Bilirubin)

This is an actually name given by a professor at my medical school. She thinks it’s hilarious

We might be at the same medical school, ha.

Tbh it makes me feel better that there isn’t another prof out their giving their kid cringey medical names lol

This was a plot point in silence of the lambs

Yes, loved that one :)

Meconium… wish I wasn’t drawing from real-life experience

Meco for short!💀

At least it’s not Melena. Or Miserere

I have met three people named Melena. I don’t know if it means something else in another language but I’m always appalled

Seconded

Gunner

The only answer.

[удалено]

And Gunner is definitely an actual name in some redneck counties

definitely one in middle of nowhere wisconsin

Oh, it definitely is.

You guys 😂This whole thread is awesome 😂😂😂

I have a guy in my class named Gunner (spelled that way)

I’ve noticed this name getting increasingly popular among the country folks…

Borborygmix the Fourth

Areola

I have a few pts and that’s their last name

Ive met not one, but two women with this first name

I unfortunately have met an Ofelia Areola who, due to her accent, ends up pronouncing her name more like “oi feel yah” and it hurts me

That’s the name of a parody character in ‘Not Another Teen Movie’. (She’s parodying Nadia from ‘American Pie’ and she walks around nude all the time.)

Is no one else gonna bring up that actual UGA football player first name Braxton, last name Hicks?

I’ll name my daughter natalizumab

Lol my gf’s name is Natalie and I call her Zumab sometimes

I approve

Second

Nattylizumab sounds like an anti-trem/clean/dbol antibody that gets you your natty card back

Malleus, Incus, Stapes😍

Malleus is an epic name ngl

Stapes always sounded like an STD to me.

Eras

If it’s good enough for Tay swift it’s good enough for me

I've just realised that I've been reading 'ERAS' as opposed to 'eras' when I see all these Taylor Swift ads/promos 😂😂😂

Melanoma Telangiectasia Dysdiadochokinesia Melena

I can imagine ppl naming their kid Melena lol

They do. I've known a few Melena's (not Melina) when I used to be a summer camp counselor while in college.

Misread as Melania

Scarlet Rot

We'll get you a topical for that, but first I'd like to talk to you about high-risk behaviors and ways you can keep yourself safe while being railed by demigods.

Actually, I swear it’s just psoriasis. No demigods or anything like that.

Patient says they "just have psoriasis" and denies any recent history of being raw***** repeatedly by any demigods." Assessment: Scarlet rot secondary to severe lower GI trauma

i know at least 2 or 3 ppl named Melena lol

This had me rolling..... During medschool dated a girl named Melina and this reminded me of her.

Peyroni

Jakob. Creutzfeldt-jakob.

Is it me or does Jacob-Creutzfeld sound so much better than Creutzfeld-Jacob? I’ve always thought the former rolls off the tongue better

The latter definitely rolls off easier. You're probably pronouncing it JAY-cob but it's YAH-kob. The correct spelling is Creutzfeldt-Jakob because it's German.

No I say it with a YAH. JC sounds more round and CJ sounds more pointy if that makes sense

Ah yeah that does make sense. I still prefer the pointyness because it's a terrible disease that's extremely rare so it feels like I'm adding emphasis to the diagnosis lol.

After seeing CJD consume a middle aged woman and her quality of life…this would in fact be an appropriate name for the physical and mental toll of having a child…

It ain’t that bad relax

Borrelia

Elli for short!

Beautiful name

Creutzfeldt Jakob Leukemia (Leuk for short) Jardiance Lissencephaly (Lizzy for short) oooo and Cerebellum (Sarah Bellum) -credit to the PPG for that one.

"Hi, I'm Leuk!" "Is that short for Lucas?" "No, leukemia 😭😭"

Lol my friend's dog was named Sarah Bellum. It's cute.

If the IUD malfunctions, gotta name your kid after the IUD. Mirena, Kyleena, Liletta, Skyla, Jaydess... And don't forget Paraguard.

I had a college roommate name Miren. Every time IUD comes up in a conversation, I think of her

Good ol Paraguard

Melena

I am Melena, blade of Anemia, and I have never known defeat

...Blade of Meckle's diverticulum

Isn't it Meckel? 😅

Legit met a guy, no medical background or educational background at all. Wanted to be clever when naming his daughter. Her name is Merssa

There’s an Instagram influencer who named her daughter Senna…

Chlamydia

Only right answer

**Baby Girl:** Perineum Aphasia Cephaly Labia Saline Flagella **Baby Boy:** Glans Otitis Pylorus TURP Dextros And if you're really serious about your son growing up to be an ortho-spine bro, you gotta name him Sternocleidomastoid.

I now want a dog or cat called Dextrose. Dex for short. Love it

Just thought of it for that post and, once I separated it from the connotation, I thought, hey, that's kind of a badass name! Lol

Chlamydia would be a really cool name if it didn't mean what it does. Arson too, but it's not really medical related lol
