I syumbled across this story this morning: Link

Basically, this couple in England named their son Drew.  Nice, normal name, right?

His last name is Peacock.  Slightly unusual, but still pretty tame.

But put the two together.  Drew, Peacock.  Drew Peacock.  DrewPeacock. 

I'll leave you to figure the rest out by yourselves.

The sad thing is they didn't realize what they had done until the dad googled 'Drew Peacock' and the default speller came back with 'did you mean droopy c*$k?'

That poor, poor child.  He's destined for a life of teasing.....

...if I were him, I'd change my name.  Perhaps 'Eric Shun' would be a good alternative.

Similar to many discussions I've been involved in about names in the military. Some people should really think about what they're going to be called before they join a service. Especially in the Navy. Their lower enlisted ranks are referred to as Seaman. Two female sailors I've heard of had the last names of Stain, and Guzzler. Add their rank, and it's a bad combination. Maybe they should have joined the Air Force, or the Army. Although, the one would have been almost as bad as Airman Guzzler or Private Guzzler.................

OUCH!! i wonder if they are going to give the child a new name.

Very funny. It took me a second but I got it. LoL
I wonder why parents don't think of that kind of stuff before hand?
I guess kids will find anything about a name to make fun of, but with that poor kid...it's just an open door.
Thanks for the laugh.

1. I'm curious as to what search engine suggested "droopy cock" for "drew peacock." Was it a search engine that suggests porn sites? "Drew peacock" isn't as valid a search item as a vulgar term?
2. The article (from what amounts to a British tabloid, right?) said that the father wasn't interested in changing his name.

It's a cute story and all, but it smacks of that one article I read in the Weekly World News about the guy named Al Kayda who was harrassed repeatedly in the aftermath of 9/11...

There's an Australian politician called Andrew Peacock - this story is one of the main soapbox items (people emailing in similar stories and suggestions) on Sunrise this morning and I thought - hey I read this on JU.
