Parents think twice over son's 'rude name'

October 02 2004 at 02:47PM

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

I was at school with a guy named Richard Edward Handle (who wants to call their son Dick Handle? let alone Dick 'Ed Handle)
Also a guy named Wayne Kerr, who was known by everyone as Boo...I didnt know his name was Wayne until many years later when we organised a School reunion.

How did this become international news? Waita make sure that everyone in the world knew about this. Now there's no way he's not going to have lasting and permenant psychological trauma. And impotency problems.
