I cant believe this!!! this poor poor child!!!
A couple have just realised their howler — after naming their baby son Drew Peacock.
Shocked dad Russell only twigged when he put it in an internet search engine looking for famous namesakes, and was asked: Do you mean Droopy Cock?
AHAHAHAHHAHA!!!
anyone else know of some shocking names parents called their kids?
I knew of a family that named their son "dwayne pipe."

A friend of my mom's told her about these kids who went to school with her kids who were named "Sensimilla" and "Cannabisitiva" (or something of the sort-I'm not sure if that's exactly right, but you get the picture!)

many years ago, 10 minuites from death and unable to give the matter much thought, I named my son after the male nurse who was pumping frozen blood into my collapsing veins.
Given the same choice today I would call them both Scrote.

I once lived in a town in England where the local ironmonger was called Date and Son. Later Mr Date had a daughter and named her Henrietta. Poor little mite, her first days in school must have been hell!
And then there was the couple who named their child after an entire soccer team......
Cheers!

i'd call my kids Poppy and Afrika (no boys names as yet). I went to school with a lass called Beverley Hills, my friend just had twin boys and called them Fred and Barney, and when I was a sparky I rewired the house of a Dr Death ( luckily not a doctor doctor but a bloke with a music doctorate) and a woman whose name was Mrs Freda Onion. She said I'd got the wrong house when i asked for Mrs Onion and when i returned after double checking insisted her last name was pronounced own iron! Loon

I dated someone, long ago, who's Dad wanted to call him Wayne. It wasn't until his Mum said the full name that she realized why it was a bad idea. Their surname is Kerr.
My Sisters partner was nearly names Ignatius by his dad. Again sense of a woman prevailed and his mum said NO!

So my ex-girlfriend's last name was Potts.
Her mother wanted a boy so that she could name him "Clay Potts." When she found out that it would be a girl, she wanted the name "Flower," instead. Flower Potts.
Fortunately, mom's best friend intervened and threatened to kill mom and take (and rename!) the baby if she did that to the poor child, so mom named her "Jamaica" after some song.
This led to repeated hilarity in Jamaica's life because Jamaica is as white as snow, you see. But she was a chemistry major and African-American Studies minor in college, so everyone who hadn't yet met her assumed she was African-American and some of the reactions she got from those with preconceived notions were hilarious.

You know I was just about to post the same thing.
I knew a girl in school who's last name was Keur and her brothers name was Wayne...so his full name was Wayne Keur - an unfortunate name hey.
I am sure there was also a guy at our school with the name Mike Hunt and another dude called Ben Dover….. but I could be wrong it was along time ago….
Don’t parents think before calling their children a suitable name??

As a teacher I always hear rumors about kids with bad names. Most of them are lies. I've never seen a roll sheet with any of the names you normally here. Actually, most of them are racist lies dealing with the fact that African Americans often give their children non-European names.
Heh... I just wrote a paragraph about all of the unusual names that I've taught... and then realized... I probably shouldn't use their real names.
So I guess you'll just have to ask me in person.
The most unique, and I must admit a little bit annoying, was my student named "Wednesday"... yes really. Especially when she'd answer every time you'd say the name of the day... as in:
Me: "Everyone remember the lab is due Weds."
Wednesday: [Distracted by something else.] "What?! I wasn't talking?! Why are you always yelling at me?!"
