Health care worker reveals the wildest names she’s heard at work – can you pronounce ‘CVIIILYN’?

An Australian healthcare worker has revealed some of the strangest names and weirdest spellings she’s ever heard at work.

In a TikTok viewed more than five million times, she says that one of the “favorite things” she and her colleagues do is discuss the ‘unique’ names they come across.

“They thought it was hysterical”

“We had a young girl who we came across – I thought her name was pronounced Lea because it was Le-a,” she says in the clip.

“But you actually pronounce the hyphen as a dash, so it was Ledasha.”

On another “very recent” occasion, a girl came into the emergency room and the doctor had to ask the creator how she thought the name was pronounced, which was written as Cviiilyn.

“I looked and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s easy, I really feel like that would be pronounced Civilian’,” she said.

“So he goes out into the waiting room and he’s like ‘Civilian, civilian’… nothing.

“After a while this girl stands up and says, ‘That’s me and I think you mean Caitlin.’”

The girl was “pretty unimpressed” that her name has been so mispronounced, and “proceeded to tell everyone” that the Vii in her name was roman numerals.

“So that was an eight, so her name was C-eight-lyn – Caitlin,” she added.

The worker also recalls that prior to that incident, there was a young child with one of the wildest names she’s ever heard.

“I don’t even know how they were allowed to register this,” she said.

“It was Shi-thead. And it was pronounced She-the-eed.

“But they had essentially named their child S**thead.

“And they thought it was hysterical while they were explaining it to me.”

“Her name is Allergin”

People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: “Caitlyn and shetheed story cracked me up!”

“I call my son ‘shi-thead’ now when he’s acting up,” the woman replied.

“The coolest I ran into was a native lady who’s name was Araya Sunshine,” another viewer commented.

And this person shared, “My kid’s got a friend in nursery called Allergin.”

Finally, this viewer wrote: “Worst I heard as a nurse is Kli-shae, pronounced ‘cliché’.”
