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."

I whent to high school with a Richard Head. A very tough, cut, athletic and agile Texas American Indian who looked capable of taking the life out of anyone who'd called him Dick.

I used to work with a guy named Richard Burns. He made it clear that his name was Richard, not Dick.
