The submitter does not know why these dentists have assumed pseudonyms, and neither do I, nor why their pseudonyms are so common. I'd go with something awesome if I was going to pick a dentist name, like Dr. Awesome.
Call me a fool bethany but i'm lost on emilymichelle's comment. To Lois i say, i thought he was the SMART one. It's so much more difficult to track someone down if they have an alias surname....
Color me old?... When I was growing up you use quotations when writing your whole name to identify which name you preferred to be called or you used it for a nickname that you wanted to be called. Perhaps these are suppose to identify which name, after Dr., that they wish to be called. Especially since there are 2 Marcs.
Since this is a kids' dentist, the quotes are there to let parents know that the doctors are on a first-name basis with their patients. To a child, "We're going to see Dr. Marc" sounds less intimidating than "We're going to see Dr. Adelberg".
My question is why is Dr. Marc using an assumed LAST name?
ReplyDelete+5! +10! Cool nickname!
ReplyDeleteI know this is early, but I think emilymichelle won the thread.

ReplyDeleteI think what toep was trying to say was Double Deuce.
ReplyDeleteAnd From CS n LA, you can keep putting the name you'd like to be called in quotation marks, and I will keep making fun of you.
Strong bad jokes never get old.
