Hello! Lurker of this sub for a while, now here with my own post. My husband and I are expecting a baby girl and I’d love some name input. Our son is named Yehuda, and we decided on his name pretty much immediately— it clicked instantly and we knew. We’ve always been able to find more boy names we like than girls, and we haven’t had that same lightening bolt moment with a girls name (so far)— I’m ok with not necessarily having that same feeling again but it makes me second guess our choice.

Things that are important to us/things that might be helpful to know about us:
- we are traditional/maybe modern orthodox leaning? We go to an orthodox shul and our children will be going to Jewish schools.
- same name (including pronunciation) in Hebrew and English. Like how Yehuda is just Yehuda, as opposed to Judah in English and Yehuda in Hebrew.
- we want a name that sounds Jewish
- we want to love the meaning of the name, not just the way it sounds
- we don’t like nicknames— we want the name we choose to be the name the child goes by (I know we don’t have 100% control over this)
- we also don’t do middle names

Our top choice right now is Eliana. I had a miscarriage prior to this pregnancy so we love the meaning, and I think it sounds pretty. I don’t love how it’s rising in popularity but overall I think it’s not too popular?

Other names we like:
- Adina (I like this one, husband doesn’t)
- Yael (like the sound but don’t love the meaning)
- Esther
- Avigail (I like, husband doesn’t)

I guess I’m just looking for thoughts on Yehuda + Eliana together, or any other suggestions/feedback. Thank you!

Patient calls in day after seeing me stating she needs a different antibiotic prescription for her UTI. Doesn't say why.

I get the message in my in-basket. I call her, she says the pharmacist told her she can't take Macrobid because she's allergic to sulfa drugs. I tell her Macrobid is not a sulfa drug and she's taken it several times before but I can send another antibiotic if she's concerned. Proceeds to scream at me saying "don't you think a pharmacist who is an expert in drugs knows what they're saying?????".

I'm so tired of these kinds of patients. I'm sure a formal complaint is just around the corner. Everyone else is always the expert except for us. I think I need to stop calling patients and just have my MA handle all contact.
