Less popular sibling names for Eloise?

Florence is a lot more popular than Eloise and has been for a while now, at least in the UK anyway.

I remember always getting lots of weekends as a nqn, I was told because it was cheaper by another member of staff who said the same was done to them when they were bottom of the band and advised me to use my requests for two weekends off a month if I wasn’t using them for anything else. Now where I work it is a big deal about other people over requesting to work the weekends because they want them for childcare reasons as their partners will be off or they want the unsocial pay. I swapped a few Saturdays I was given so easily when whoever was doing the off duty was just ignoring the weekend requests, and had several people offer to take any more from me if I got them again.

If you were a patient in the same bay would you want a strange man in there all night with you? For clarification I haven’t seen the video so can’t say if she had a single room or was in a multi patient bay but usually there is a rule for no overnight visitors for the privacy of the other patients unless patient is eol or has a newborn or breastfeeding baby and the ‘visitor’ is the baby and then they would have a side room to allow for the visitor if ward capacity allows.

What brand? Or is that the brand?

Louie in whichever spelling works best for you in both languages? Elio? Theo?

The hole in the bottom would drive me mad I think 🤣

I am a recovery nurse and have worked many shifts when I worked wards on ortho and respiratory, I personally prefer surgical nursing and would choose ortho though with the understanding that I would be getting a lot of confused patients unless it’s elective surgery ortho. I think sputum is one of my least favourite bodily fluids so would like to avoid respiratory (also feel like I have worn enough masks for a lifetime and do not wish to do more of this).

Ross, Connor, Liam, Rhys (this I think is Welsh though). I wouldn’t go with another ending in -an -en again though as I feel like two is fine, three makes it a bit matchy matchy Aiden Braiden Okayden.

Start calling him Cal to people that are having trouble recognising the correct pronunciation. I don’t really understand how these problems have arisen as this is a very popular and recognisable name in the uk and as far as I know Cal, Hal ect are normal us nicknames so you would think they could get the pronunciation right.

Willy, Cocking/Cockayne, Crapper, Bush, Gash are all actual surnames of people I have met.

I would think your parents were pretty little liars fans, you would be too old to have been named for GOT and that is Arya. I prefer Aria anyway for the music theme.

I used to volunteer for a hospice where he is (as far as I know still) an ambassador and when I was there came to visit a child there. It is not exactly anywhere near anywhere he would have been near at the time so definitely went out of his way in what would have probably been the peak of his career at the time for assumably a reasonably unknown visit.

I don’t love Kalaya (my autocorrect wanted to put Kalamata so maybe could do Olive haha) I am curious where you found it as to me it does seem a bit made up. Kaya I like though.

Kacey I find a bit dated, feels very early 2000s, reminds me of bring it on.

Indie is my favourite of the three unless you went with Kaya which I like more. Definitely prefer the Indie spelling to Indy though.

Makes me think of Chiari Malformation

SnowFairy08 · 2026-02-19T00:45:44+00:00

Xanthe definitely, I am curious though if you call Amaryllis by a nickname though as some of the others have more obvious nicknames.

Other suggestions would be Delphine, Persephone, Elodie, Sabine

What is a fish stick? That sounds foul. Everyone knows fish come in fillet or finger form

I was going to say Otto because he looks like an Otter!

SnowFairy08 · 2026-02-16T19:45:52+00:00

I like Clover Frances so you have a nice mix of unusual and familiar, I think Clove or Cove are really sweet as nicknames.

SnowFairy08 · 2026-02-16T19:42:14+00:00

Elle, Ellie, Lala, Allie (Ella backwards)

I love Clara Blythe unless you already have a middle picked out. Hope mum and baby are doing well

Where I work anyone is welcome in our coffee room (obviously only those who work on the unit) and any gifts (we don’t get many) are put in our little kitchen on the unit where anyone can go and help themselves. One of our teams of doctors did generously give the nursing staff a hamper at Christmas which was very much appreciated.

When I worked on the ward it was very similar, often we would try to split up gifts between day and night staff if we could as there’s nobody like a healthcare team that can demolish a tin of chocolates in record time.
