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."
TAJ "boat mummy." VALURA "yes sweetie you went on a boat, was daddy there with you?" TAJ "no, but monkey on boat" VALURA "well then sweetie, Daddy WAS there with you"

I heard some people cheering for "Holly Wood" at my soccer game the other day.

"Fire!" "Where?" "Nowhere, I was just illustrating the misuse of free speech."

On 'Buffy' the music used to be done by someone called 'Thomas Wanker'.
I said to my bloke that if that was my name I would change it.
He replied, 'yes, I'd change it to John Thomas Wanker.'

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.
Ah, see, I feel not at all racist here, because my dad taught in New Haven ( a very very "ghetto-ish" town near me...and not being racist there either, it just is. His first year there they had an end of the year stabbing.... it was a great school) and most of his students were African American, and he actually brought home his attendance lists to show us that he wasn't making the names up.
He had a Treasure, an Empress, and a Princess. The story that he heard from another student, was that Empress's mother wanted to outdo Princess's mother.
He also had Ebony, Ivory, Mahogany, and another one that I can't remember, but it was another kind of material or something.
Our favorite was what we decided was the idea of taking the dad's name and adding "isha" to the end, because he had a Tomisha, Doneisha, Kenisha, and Jerreisha.
The other two weird ones were Stay-cee...just cause it was a weird spelling, and the one that I never understood was Shaylce. It's pronounced "sha-leece" and I can't figure out any way to make that work.
So I don't really feel racist...those were just their names.
