PARENTS NAMED BABY DREW PEACOCK
By Anthony France
A couple have just realised their howler - after naming their 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 C**k? The environmental health officer, 31 said: “It was as if I’d been smacked with a right hook. I can’t believe we’ve named our son ‘Droopy C**k’. 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.”
Mum Shetal Patel, 28, has also failed to spot the blunder over two-month-old Drew - despite being a registrar’s assistant. 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, from Bedford, 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 is on his birth certificate and other documents.”

That is so funny!
But really, for the sake of the baby, the parents should change the name, so he doesn’t get teased when he’s older.
thatz SO awful! hahaha…i feel so sorry for that poor kid…
Aww, poor kid. This happens so often nowadays. I think the parents should change his name or at least make Drew his middle name.
just change the name hey!
