You named your kid what? - Part II

from JoeUser Forums

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.

That was hilarious. If I were the father I would be changing the name right now. Crazy. Thanks for the morning laugh.

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.................

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.

It was Google, apparently...and yes, The Sun is a daily sheet.

Trina:  Yep, you read it here first!

If you type drew peacock into Google, it does not offer "droopy cock" as an alternate spelling. I sincerely doubt it offers "cock" as an alternate spelling for anything. I think this is one of those "amusing anecdotes that aren't entirely true" - aka Urban Legends.

Geez, you know me. Always the naysayer. (Why are you anonymous? Forget to log in, you old codger.)
I really tried to fight the urge to say nay, here. The article is still humorous, though.

I didn't realise that Google could examine words phonetically. Try do the search, no such thing happens.
Reply #21 from JoeUser Forums Top
Hehehe... true or not, it's funny. (I have to doubt the Google part, too.)

Is "Lucy Kuntz" the female version?

Searching for "Kuntz" on Google currently brings up the sidebar ad:

Kuntz For Sale
Low Priced Kuntz
Huge Selection! (aff)
ebay.com

Hehehehe. They should spell it the way Dean Koontz does -- less room for wise guys like me to mess with them.

Ok, so I went to school with (totally serious) Semore Butts (had the locker under mine), and Ben Dover, (1 grade ahead of me different schools). My mom works with a guy with the last name hore who always threatened to name his twin daughters Ima and Yora (thankfully he didn't).
