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

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

My child has the name of the midwife that delivered them (different full name, but same short form). It was pure coincidence though, the name was already picked.

Can't remember anyone's names except Midwife Kate. She was an absolute legend and if we hadn't picked DDs name already then Kate would have been a strong contender.

I can't remember the names of the midwives who delivered my DS, however when I was born, my DPs didn't have a name for me, so my dad asked the midwife what her name was and they would call me after her. Her name was Maude. My mum very loudly replied with, "We are not calling her Maude!" And they didn't.

The anaesthetist was called Tim. His is the only name I remember.

Alex (she was female but obviously that would work for either gender). I actually loved Alex but we had a close friend at the time whose child was called Alex. My mum’s name is Alexandra but she hasn’t used it since she was a teenager as she hates it so I don’t know if she’d have liked us to use it in tribute or not.

Karen and Ceri

Diana (consultant) x all 3 of my babies. Ones a boy

No idea. The only one I remember out of 4 children was jayne with a Y. She was a right prick so no chance of that 🤣

First DS was delivered by doctor called Thomas.
Second DS was delivered by midwife called Lisa. Not sure Lisa works for a boy!

By coincidence we named DD same as my midwife. She was so genuinely pleased that I didn’t have the heart to say we’d already chosen it (and the spellings differed).

I saw a bazillion midwives and doctors (was in hospital for quite a while). The only two names I remember are Sam (female) and Maryam, even though there were some other lovely staff too whose faces I remember very clearly.

Leo. I did consider it for a while but thought that although he was very nice he was just doing his job and would have been a bit OTT to name baby after him!

Michelle, Carol, Christine, Hillary - all names reflective of their generations! And Kirsten which is lovely but sounds v silly with our surname.

DD would have been Victoria and DS would have been Jill 😂

Leanne or Nicola

Yvonne is only one I remember.

Catherine for DD.
Concepta for DS.
Maybe they’ll use them as confirmation names, you never know.

Mary and Heather. I had two boys 🤣

Marie

Harriet.

My friend has a daughter called Kara and she was named after the midwife who delivered her. My friend just liked the name when she heard it

The only name I remember from ds's arrival was Priti (doctor), she was lovely.

Dd was delivered by a Dr called Gail and a midwife called Sharon. Both were amazing but we didn't name her after either of them.

Oh my goodness, for both DC I had Dr. John, and for DC2 midwife was Louise! (who I think may have had either early onset dementia or was on sleeping tablets in the middle of the night shift)

I'd have a son called Natalie

I’ve never spoken to a midwife or doctor about childbearing for long enough to remember their names!

Terry. He wore orange Crocs which would be a crime in any other circumstances.
