Be careful when naming your baby...

[LunarSea]

When you don't think carefully about it first - this might happen. (Thanks to DH for sending that to me.)

[maretta]

Oh my! . You would change it, wouldn't you. Poor child.

There used to be a reporter on South Today called Chris Peacock - Drew is far worse.

[acnebride]

OMG!!
Knew a man called Michael Hunt a few years back. Sorry to any others out there.

[maretta]

I'm also very amused that it was google that told the Dad that the name was hilarious.

[Thomcat]

This is the God's honest truth, I personnaly knew them(as in it's not a story of a friend of a firend)

a boy at school called:
Wayne king (yes really)

and a girl called:
Mhairi Dick (it's pronounced Vari, but say it like you see it and what do you get?!)

oh and there was another boy called:
Thomas Thomas, (as in same forename & surname!)

[maretta]

I did hear a similar story in a friend of a friend kind of a way.

A couple had named their daughter Ophelia Myfanwy.

It wasn't till someone said "What! Feel Me Fanny" that they realised the mistake.

[Hulababy]

I would definitely change it - don't you have 12 months after registering a baby's name to change your mind anyway? I just think the chld may be better off in the long run - can you imagine the teasing at school

DH's clients have include Albert Hall, Tom Jones and a John Thomas

and

Fungus the Bogeyman - but that man had changed his own normal name to this as an adult!!!

I used to know someone called Iona Pyle. And my mum went to school with Honour Kermode. But my favourite was a patient in a hospital where I worked - called Airey Muff.

[Rowlers]

No way!
This is the funniest thing I've read in ages.
No names to add unfortunately.

ExP's grandma had a home help called Eileen Dover. Wish I was joking !

[SoupDragon]

I worked with a P Nurse.

My gran loves to tell the tale of a girl she knew whose family surname was Rose. The girl was named Wilde - very nice, Wilde Rose.

Only she married an Albert Bull!!!!!

[emmatmg]

My BIL is Chris Peacock- although not the Tv blokey.

In my old job I once booked a holiday for a Mr Sex and his vehicle reg was A* MUF. How I managed to not laugh in his face I will never know.

[NomDePlume]

OMG, have only just got the Chris Peacock one . Crispy Cock, I assume ?! LOL !

[bottersnike]

At work once I had to call a guy called Chris P. Duck.
Yes, really!!
