The importance of thinking through baby names

Psyko Tek · 03-15-2006, 04:04 PM

A Bedford couple named their baby son Drew Peacock before realising that it sounded quite rude.

The baby's father, Russell, said he only twigged it when he put it in an Internet search engine looking for famous namesakes, and was asked: "Do you mean Droopy C**k?"

"It was as if I'd been smacked with a right hook. I started repeating 'Drew Peacock' over and over again. Then I thought - what have we done?

"I went numb and couldn't speak for two minutes. Then I couldn't stop laughing."

Mother Shetal Patel had also failed to spot their error despite being a registrar's assistant, says The Sun.

She said: "I thought Russell had seen a ghost when he came away from the computer. We decided on the name a month before he was born - we both loved it straight away."

The couple are now concerned that Drew's name will cause him problems in later life.

Russell said: "People at work are already saying, 'Hey, look there's Droopy's dad'. But we don't want to change his name. It's on his birth certificate and other documents." - Ananova.com

My little brother's last name is Concert. He is having a little girl in June and is thinking about naming her Claire Annette. If he goies through with it, I will have to kick his ass. If it had been a boy, the name would of been Lazlo.

Claire Annette Concert would be a cool name.

As for Mr. Peacock, I think he did it in the study with a wrench.

I knew a fellow named Harold Angels.

Not much of a singer, though.

A kid at out sons' school was named Richard Shortt. They played football, announcer said Richard Shortt on the tackle. I said who the hell is stupid enough to curse their kid with that, his parents were sitting right in front of me. My wife was telling me to shut up and I told her if someone was dumb enough to name their kid Shortt, Dick I could say whatever I wanted!
