3 syllable first name. Meadowlark is lovely

I will not in the future do anything that I will feel ashamed of.

I’m actually shocked that I got into a good medical school with my name. I wonder if they googled me and decided it wasn’t a big deal.

The anonymity must be. I wish we had those EU right to be forgotten laws.

You’re right, those are great suggestions! Dr. Shepherd was a character on Grey’s anatomy tho so that’s a hard no.

Wait Dr. Hope is so sweet! I love that. And no problems with people misspelling

Idk about the optics of Dr Danger

I reject the concept of automatically taking a partner’s last name, as a woman. I also don’t want my father’s, for personal and professional reasons. It’s wack that we have all collectively agreed that a woman trades ownership and a large part of her identity when married. He should have to do it. I know a woman with the last name Palo who changed her name to something I find ugly when she got married and it ticks me off. It’s sexism for her to change it and not him, but we all ignore it?
I will change my name to a partner’s if they have an awesome last name, but I can’t wait on a hypothetical partner. I actually do know a couple women in my line of work who have ethnic last names that have confused patients. Einstein would be funny but I dare not.

I’m just glad you got to go down a rabbithole. I could riff off old and go with Gold, since that would be a great last name and a nice and convoluted backstory for my hypothetical offspring.

Hiver!!! It means winter in French! I don’t care if people mispronounce it but omg it looks so good spelled out!

I love that, it sounds so classy. I don’t mind if people say things that get old. With my first name, I learned a long time ago to not get annoyed by it, because I would always get “like the spy?” I secretly think a little less of people who say that. Then again, I knew a guy, absolutely beautiful in a gay mysterious way, and told him he looked like a Twilight vampire, and he gave me this withering look and was like “Yeah, I’ve heard that.” So I was the annoying one to someone else with the same problem ahshhahhfhhahhbhhhhhh

Thank you and I appreciate the sentiment. It’s just like if someone comes in for Dr. Chen they might feel some type of way when they see me because I don’t look Asian and need to call the translator. Maybe my last name should be Rootless or Rudderless

That’s beautiful! And good point, I’ll look at more H and nature words.

I went into this field so I could wear PJs to work lol.
This is a whole nother post but the funding is not coming through and I think my lab at the cancer center might close. I’ve been begging my PhDs to go on the local news and kick up a little fuss, but they are camera-shy, and I would be comfortable being on camera but I don’t have knowledge of the ins and outs the way they do. So nobody is comfortable and knowledgeable enough to be the face of our lab. We need a charismatic leader and can’t find one amongst our ranks.

Why do i need to be a hoar? That’s a cool name tho I’ll play with that idea

I graduated last month and I’m doing a research year before applying for residency so yes I do have my certification, but I am not in a place to give advice to others.

You’re being excessively rigid rn

I didn’t even think about the alphabet problem! Now I’m definitely picking one in the early half because that would bug me a lot.
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
H!
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t have my police blotter attached to it though. I’m being jokey about it but it sucks that something I was wrongfully arrested for a decade ago is just there every time you search me. Like, I wasn’t even charged, I was just arrested for a second, but since I don’t do anything to get into papers that’s one of the top things.
Might be worthwhile to look into SEO optimization instead of changing the name. Seems like it’ll be a lot of work either way.

Lmao I was kidding (maybe)

Dr. Hacker would be interesting. I had a Dr. Ripper in training who was brilliant.
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
What if I did Hard? Dr. Hard sounds kinda cool
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
That is actually a really good idea because since I am the only person in the world with my exact name when you google me the police blotter about me being arrested is one of the top results. It sucks because I didn’t do it but the stain is there. If I wanted to pick a famous person I’d have to have the last name Tubman or Beecher-Stowe and I don’t love those, aesthetically.

I don’t get along with my dad either, I feel you. My mom’s maiden is Chen and I don’t look like a Chen so I can’t. I guess I’ll think about the things I love and make a portmanteau or just pick one good one.
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
Damn that is a long list. First thought is thank you for taking the time to type it out, second thought is how crazy it is that married women just quietly swallow this additional burden. Saving this comment.
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
It would Chen in that case but I don’t want to go too Chinese with the last name because I’m not fluent in Chinese and since I’m a doctor I don’t want patients to assume I can speak Chinese. I have no problem with patients using any language and we have translation services, I just don’t want them to book with me and be disappointed/confused.

I hate you
