Speaking in the video<\/a>, the content creator said: ‘So one of our favourite things as healthcare workers is to talk about some of the names that we come across, especially for young people.’<\/p>\n She noted that a few years ago, a popular name ‘making the rounds’ was ABCDE – pronounced ‘Absidee’, which the healthcare worker noted kept ‘things really easy for that child’.<\/p>\n Next, she added: ‘We also had a young girl that we came across. I thought her name was pronounced Leah because it was [spelt] L E – A.<\/p>\n ‘You actually pronounce the hyphen as a dash, [so it] was pronounced Ladasha.’<\/p>\n Along with some of her coworkers, she had some across another unexpected spelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Just very recently, we had a girl come into emergency,’ the content creator said.<\/p>\n An Australian healthcare worker and TikTok creator (pictured)\u00a0 has revealed some of the most unusual names she has come across in recent years<\/p>\n ‘And the doctor was like, how do you think you pronounce this name? So it was [spelt] CVIILIN.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘And I was like, “oh, that’s easy. I really feel like that would be pronounced Civilian”.<\/p>\n ‘So he goes out in to the waiting room, and he’s like, “Civilian, Civilian,” – nothing.<\/p>\n ‘After a little bit, this girl stands up, and she’s like, “that’s me, and I think that you mean Caitlyn”.’<\/p>\n The youngster then revealed that the VIII in her name was actually Roman numerals, and so was pronounced eight.<\/p>\n However, the TikTokker left the most shocking name for last, explaining: ‘A week before that, we had a young child in the peadiatric room, and I was like, this is absolutely crazy.\u00a0<\/p>\n While one of the children the healthcare worker came across at work had a name pronounced as\u00a0Shatheed, the spelling looked rude<\/p>\n ‘The parents had named this child. I don’t even know how they’re allowed to register this. It was S, H, I, hyphen, T, H, E, A, D, and it was pronounced Shatheed, but they had essentially named their child S*******, and they thought it was hysterical.’<\/p>\n The healthcare worker is not the only person to reveal some of the more unusual names parents have been giving their children in recent times.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, a New York-based TikTokker and comedian called Mike, who uses the handle @thatmikecomedy, made a video in which he relayed\u00a0a story told by a teacher friend of his, who came across a name that was more riddle than moniker.<\/p>\n ‘How do you pronounce that name right there?’ he asked, showing the letters ‘JKMN’ on the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Guess,’ he encouraged, adding: ‘You won’t get it right.’\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘My friend, who is a teacher, came across this name as she was doing roll call on the first day,’ he explained.<\/p>\n Confessing his friend wasn’t sure how to pronounce the name at all, Mike himself admitted his guess was ‘Jacoom.’<\/p>\n ‘Do you know how it’s pronounced?’ he asked in disbelief. ‘Noel,’ he shared.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘You’re probably thinking, “how is that possible?”‘ he mused.<\/p>\n ‘Because, she said, J-K-M-N… there’s no L there,’ he continued, as he revealed the rationale behind the confusing moniker.<\/p>\n Mike, from New York, recently took to TikTok to relay a story told by a teacher friend of his, who came across a name that was more riddle than moniker\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘It skips the L so it’s pronounced NO-L.’\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Yeah,’ he confirmed. ‘There are real parents who decided to name their child that and are going to have to have that conversation every time they write their name down.’<\/p>\n Some people questioned the legitimacy of the story, with Mike posting a follow up video assuring viewers it was indeed, very real.<\/p>\n ‘This is a real story,’ he insisted, <\/a>responding to one user who accused him of regurgitating a story posted to Reddit.<\/p>\n ‘My friend who told me this, she is a teacher, and these parents did name their daughter that.’<\/p>\n![\"An](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/99337577-14809145-An_Australian_healthcare_worker_and_TikTok_creator_pictured_has_-a-3_1749811046731.jpeg\")
