The name Nausea

[Tombliwho]

Indulge me... DH and I have enjoyed ourselves today thinking of random words that could be names A bit like when Uncle Fester said Dementia was a beautiful name. DH thinks Nausea could be lovely.

Amaretto, very girly

Melanoma, more serious studious option

Millipede, always busy

Estradiol, European grandparents 😁

Spirulina is a nice name!

I worked with a Shaista.

I saw a boat named Candida once.

Rash. He’s very sporty and likes surfing.

Sertraline for a girl.

Sofa as a masculine form of Sophie.

Nausea has a twin sister called Diarrhoea.

Carbuncle sounds like a jolly older relative who brings cake.

I sometimes suggest Oubliette on baby name threads here.

Back in the 80s, I decided that Scrofula and Embolism would be nice for twins.

Doesn’t Sarah Palin name her kids like this? Hasn’t she got a Bristol and a Track?

@Jux how about Scrofula and Scurvey for twins.

We liked Senna for a girl (ex was a F1 fan) until someone pointed out it would remind people of a laxative.

There was a girl called Candida in my year at school. She was known as Candy

Some top quality name choices here 😂😂

I know a Candida...
I was at boarding school in the mid 1980s with a Fanny!! 🤣

I knew someone called Anna who swore it was short for andromeda - never did quite believe her!

@Theonewiththecandles - I've always said the same about chlamydia.

My dad apparently suggested Cholera as a name for me when I was born.

DD was at university with a girl called Velocity. It's actually a very similar sound to Felicity, which is a perfectly normal name - strange how some words start to get used as names and others don't.

Spirogyra is pretty. As long as you don't mind being named after a filamentous algae.

Sarah Palin's children

Bonjella is fun and girly.

Foetus is a cool name.

Dettol is cute and unisex.

Casket is gorgeous and unisex.

Cloud is another fave...

Melaena (sticky tarry poo you get when there's partially digested blood in it) - lovely name for a girl.

Speculum
Stapes
Phlegm
Heliobacter

IIRC Nausica is a character in Homer’s Odyssey. She’s playing with friends when she finds poor old Odysseus, starkers after being washed up on the shore. He does hold a branch or something over his bits, though, so as not to affright the young ladies.
I think she took him home for a nice bath, with some olive oil for his salt-dried skin.
