What are some good, funny, or creative test patient names?
I want to get creative with some names. Sick of "Test, A" or "Meyer, Urban"
Hit me with some good ones.

All of my test patients are named after Futurama or Archer characters. I typically put problems on their problem list that make sense too.
Gotta use those ICD.10 codes for spaceship accidents somewhere.
Mario Speedwagon
Tony D Tiger - I picked that up from the EHR trainers.
I was pushing through test data for a clinical integration with an early iteration of Phreesia, and one of the nurses bursts in laughing. “You guys won’t believe it, a guy named Tony D Tiger just checked in!”
Sarah Bellum is always my favorite
All of the Care Bears. All of them have the last name of Bear so it’s easy and funny to hear in meetings.
We use food items, famous dead people, or people from cartoons / movies / tv shows.
I always used The Simpsons characters for my test patient names lol, with -Test prefixed to the last name... like: "Simpson-Test, Homer" for example.
I've seen some people use character names from Friends or Seinfeld
Harry Potter characters! Or any of your favorite TV shows/movies.
Named hurricanes based on test patient birth year
I used to do batman and robin.
Favorite I saw was Johnson, AntsInMyEyes. Not nearly as big a Rick and Morty fan as I used to be (didn't keep up with it and...yeah you know) but the technologist had reached on call at like 1am and at that hour, it was especially funny.
I have Disney princesses
Pokemon. Never ran out of names
Mouse, Mickey. Duck, Daffy. McDuck, Scrooge
My last round of test patients were alphabetical from Community:
Abed
Britta
Chang
Dean
Elroy
Frankie
Garrett
Hawthorne
No one noticed, but it brought me joy every time I looked at them.
