If you would name your DC after your doc or a midwife what would it be?

[Jleome]

My DD would be Yamini or Emma
DS Harry and if he was a girl then Alice

Pauline 🤣

DD would be Susan, which I reckon is due a comeback.

DS was inadvertently named the same as the very handsome surgeon who delivered him and his twin sis.

I have named my son after the doctor that delivered him. Middle name though and we also liked it for different reasons.

My midwife was Michaela

Laritza and Kelly (but I had x2 boys, anyway!).

Precious. Rather lovely but I would not be brave enough to use it.

My fertility Dr was Karsten, which I quite like!

Don’t remember the doctors names, but I do remember DS1 midwife was Jess (lovely) and DS2 midwife was Anne (horrible)

Dt would have been Anna and my name for midwife and Dr was john.
Ds were all femle including several Dr's. Main midwife was Louise.

Christopher, Susana, Elisabeth, Leela, Lucie, Caroline, Jessica

I had a male trainee midwife assist on my daughter's birth many moons ago. It was his first delivery.
After she was born he asked what I was going to call her, when I told him he was nearly in tears, it was his mum's name so he had to run off to phone his mum and tell her. Pure coincidence.

Genevieve ☺️

Molly 😊 and Molly was so lovely xx

Fiona and Simon

My daughter would be my own name (i wasn’t my own doctor) or Sue

for my son the midwife was Karen and doctor Lauren

I have two DSs and they were both delivered by female midwives, with no doctor (male or female) in sight. I thought that was the norm in the UK!

Anyway, the first midwife's name was Priscilla, which doesn't really lend itself to a male version. I never knew the first name of my male GP of the time. We did half-jokingly consider the name Jarvis for DS1 because where we were living when he was born, our house was very small (though not with woodchip on the wall!) That's probably the closest I can think of to a "birth circumstances" name for him.

The second midwife was Jean, so I could have used John, which coincidentally is one of DS2's names but not because of her.

Hannah or Tracey

Beate ( midwife was pol8sh)

I have no idea, labour was so hideous I have no memory of the midwives!

Can't remember but as it turns out, when DS2 nearly died due to an undiagnosed heart condition when he was ten days old, the doctor who worked on him in resus and got him stable enough to be moved, had the same unusual name as DS2.
I'll never forget him.

No idea, the midwives were lovely but I can't remember any of their names. In fairness I only saw them when I was in heavy labour and was discharged from hospital after an hour or two so its not like we had lots of time to chat!

I actually did!

We were undecided between two names, then the midwife was called one of them, so we took it to be a sign.

Brenda . . . she was absolutely lovely but there's no way I could have named DD after her

My son would be called Lisa. I had other midwives in hospital but she was the one who was nice to me.

Kirsten. I actually nearly named DD1 after the lovely student midwife, it was an awful birth and she was so amazing and caring. She even stayed after her shift ended as she wanted to see me through til the end.

Chelsea or Kelly
