Naming the baby

A pregnant woman is in a car accident and goes into a coma.

After nearly six months, she wakes up to find that she is no longer pregnant.

Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.

The doctor replies, "Don't worry, you had twins! We had to do a C-section, but you had a boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother was here and he named them for you."

The woman says, "Oh no, not my brother! He's an idiot!" Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, "Well, what's the girl's name?"

"Denise," the doctor replies.

Happy, she says, "Well, that's not a bad name!" So a bit more optimistically she asks the doctor, "And what's the boy's name?"

Quietly, the doctor replies, "Denephew."
