"What's in a name?": Samira Mohan edition. A compilation of every mention of the character by name in season one. A comparison of how Samira pronounces her last name compared to other characters, plus how she refers to herself versus how other characters refer to her.

The clips are organized in four sections: 1) all instances of Samira saying her own name, 2) all other characters' mentions of "Mohan" (usually "Dr. Mohan"), 3) "Samira," and 4) "Slo-Mo." Clips in each section are shown in order of appearance.

"Mohan" pronunciation

Here, I use general American English as the guide for comparing the pronunciation of the name Mohan. The surname is not English in origin, but I use it based on the show setting and character backgrounds. I am not by any means an expert in linguistics or phonetics, and all of this information I compiled from phonetic and IPA guides online. Please correct any mistakes!

Samira pronounces her last name like mo-huhn (which sounds to me like /ˈmoʊhʌn/ or /ˈmoʊhən/, but I can't tell if there is stress on the uh sound). Most characters pronounce Mohan like mo-han (/ˈmoʊhæn/) with the "a" sound like the one in the words "cat" or "hand." Donahue is the only character who pronounces Mohan like mo-hahn (/ˈmoʊhɑn/) with the "a" sound like the one in the word "father." Of the characters who say Samira's last name, it sounds like Santos is the only character who pronounces Mohan similarly to Samira.

Mentions of Samira's name

"Mohan" is said 36 times in season 1. Of those 36 times, there are only two instances in which a character drops the "Doctor" title from her surname, and both times it is Robby who does it. The counts of how many times each character refers to Samira as Dr. Mohan (and simply Mohan in Robby's case) in season 1:

17: Michael "Robby" Robinavitch

4: Heather Collins, Jack Abbot

3: self

2: Frank Langdon, Dennis Whitaker

1: Melissa "Mel" King, Trinity Santos, Donnie Donahue, Joyce St. Claire (patient)

"Samira" is said 13 times in season 1. Samira says her own name three of those times. The first time, she invites Whitaker, a new colleague, to use her first name instead of "Dr. Mohan," indicating a preference to dropping formalities when colleagues speak to her. The second time, she introduces herself by her full name to a patient's spouse. The third time, she says her name when speaking to Robby on the phone. The counts of how many times each character refers to Samira by her first name in season 1:

4: Robby

3: self

2: Collins

1: Dana Evans, Cassie McKay, Trinity Santos, Parker Ellis

"Slo-Mo", a nickname colleagues use to mock the pace Samira works at, is mentioned four times in season 1. Samira brings it up first to Robby and then Whitaker separately. Collins mentions it when she tells Samira she deserves better. Robby jokes about the nickname to compliment Samira for working at a more efficient pace.

2: self

1: Robby, Collins

Why have we lost the art of email. I just had to drive 30 miles to drop off three sheets of paper and then drive back home. To set up an appointment for another day. Do you know how much gas costs?

Maybe Samira didn't know how to have fun in a social way.

Going out to bars or overpriced brunches weren't really her thing. Studying with other residents sounded like a good idea on paper, but in reality every session turned into an awkward dick measuring contest of who was more correct about the specific steps in a cricothyrotomy or who had more cool hands-on experiences in the field that week.

But Samira has a lot of fun by herself.
