Re: Mr Peacock
Here it is, just in case link didn't work.
Baby's name sounds rude
A Bedford couple named their baby son Drew Peacock before realising it sounded 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 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."

Re: Mr Peacock
happyplastic,
A friend I went to school with was named Ronald Baum. Now you know the kids called him Ronnie Baum or runny bum forever. As he got older the name sort of stuck but he made fun of it as much as everybody else did so no one really teased him about it anymore. When his first kid was born, a boy, he named him Adam.
I also grew up with not just one but two guys named Mike Hunt.

bingolong,
My aunt met a man whose name was Nosmo King. His name seemed familiar to her and she asked him about it. He said that as his mother told him, she was drugged during labor and thought she saw a sign from God when awakening to name her baby Nosmo (King was their last name.) What she actually saw was a sign that said No Smoking.
