Didn't they realise?

I got an e-mail from a friend telling me about the new boy next door to her and what his parents have named him- Andrew. Now there is nothing wrong with Andrew at all, but check out his surname- Peacock. Andrew Peacock! If he is known as Drew then he can't ever go to high school!

[drewid]

Well i originally clicked reply to say 'call me stupid but i dont' get it'.

Then i got it.

I guess kids are gonna tease each other no matter what! Maybe he'll get lucky and be called Andy ? :)

I heard about a baby born here in Brisbane in the last few days whose parents have lovingly called him Bundy Bear (surname). What do these people think?

I have to say I didn't get it at first either - was thinking of references to the former politician - then the penny dropped - doh!

[drewid]

LOL scary isn't it Draught.

But Bundy Bear sounds so cute :p

[Ffrenchknickers]

LOL, it tok me awhile too.....I was thinknig the politician as well:rolleyes:

Same! Was thinking of the politician.

I had a speech and drama teacher when I was in primary school who was very stuck up. Her name was Mrs Nuss. It gave me great pleasure when I was 11 years old to discover her 2 sons were called Andrew and Peter. A. Nuss and P. Nuss. :eek:

[Jaileth]

lol - Must be slow this morning. Poor 'Drew'!!!! You are so right though - he'll never be able to go to high school!!!

[Ffrenchknickers]

LOL................:D

Our surname is Shields and my hubby is one of 3 boys....their nicknames at school were Maxi, Panty and Ultra:rolleyes:

[funfarrell]

That's hilarious. Hope the radtion isn't carried down for your bub.

[funfarrell]

meant to say tradition. I am trying touch typing but think i will go back to the one fingered stuff (oo-er) as i make less mistakes.

[Ffrenchknickers]

LOL me too....I had never actually thought about that, my poor kids:o :rolleyes: :eek: :p

[Ffrenchknickers]

LOL, yeah touch typing never worked for me either....:rolleyes:

[cosmic]

If there is one thing I am eternally grateful for it is learning to touch type in high school. Who would have thought??!! :p

That is just too cruel :eek:

[JanetF]

I know someone who gave their child a name that reads B.Adcock and despite being told it *might* be problematic can't see the issue. Um ok. :confused: I also know an Ivor Locock, and a Dwayne Pipe whose dad was a plumber. I put so much thought into my son's name to avoid anything obvious being wrong with it. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?! :rolleyes: I know a **** Trickel too :( He calls himself Richard but his family have always called him ****. Aren't they innocents or stupid???

[Ffrenchknickers]

Wayne Kerr, Ophelia ****, Drew Kirton (OK the last one is the only real one:rolleyes: )
LOL

[JanetF]

At least mine were all real :p

[Ffrenchknickers]

LOL.....well I tried:p :p :p :p

[Tea Lady]

I knew a woman who used to teach a Jenna Tayor (think of it spelt with a "G") :eek: !

[Tea Lady]

I just realised ..... I know an Ivor Lowcock too - can there be more than one? Surely not!!!

[JanetF]

Runs a pharmacy? Amazing if we know the same one... :eek:

[OM]

I knew a Hope Courage, her sister's name was Charity.

[Ffrenchknickers]

Charity courage??? :eek:

[melfunction]

[JellyBean06]

I'm always amazed at people with the same first and last name - there is a famous Dr in Adelaide called Dr David David and my DH worked with an Adam Adams!

[Ffrenchknickers]

Or Michael Michaels...Jeffery Jefferies:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D

[Tea Lady]

My mum taught 2 kids called Pearl and Sydney ..... and of course their last name was Harbour. Good one.

BTW I think he does run a pharmacy Janet - I don't actually know him myself really though - more of a family friend of my parents, but I do know his daughter better. Wierd hey?

[mixi_mama]

Honest to god my DSS name is JackDaniels (one word mind you)
I didnt get the andrew bit at first either and i was saying it faster and faster then i got it - almost choked actually lol
Oh well some people yeh
And as for Bundy Bear - isnt that the polar bear?

[JellyBean06]

Yep - Bundy the Bear - cursed for life! :o

Speaking of Jack Daniel, also seen Jim Beam (James Beam), Max/well William....I'm sure there's others.

Talk about setting a child down a path for life! I like Kahlua - it ain't on my list! :D

Does a name make others look at the child and go 'you're a loser'/'your a winner'? Sorry if this offends but naming after grog or your dinner plate, to me shows lack of imagination and a love affair with the bottle (or the plate! perhaps both? in any order!). :p

[MilkOnTap]

I once heard a story about a family who lived in the town I was in at the time. Very bogan area. First names, Ima, Ura and Wera. Last name Pig.

[Goosie22]

I was looking after a baby once shortly after it was born, while doing something with the baby I asked the dad (who was proudly wearing a Holden Polo shirt) Soo do you have a name for her yet? He answered yea "Calias" Inocently I said ooh do you have a french connection? He gave me a stupid look and said no its a type of car :eek:

[Scout]

When you join as a sailor in the Navy - your ranks are Recruit, Seaman, Able Seaman, Leading Seaman etc.

I had one guy in my class who was called Ben Seaman so his rank after recruit school was Seaman Seaman.

Another guy in my class had the surname Staines :eek: I kid you not!

[JellyBean06]

Oh Scout! That's too cruel! The Navy has a lot to answer for! :D

[hartz]

On the topic of people with first names similar to last names.. in my first job as trainee receptionist at the physio I used to have to do alot of filing so i came across as Peter Peterson, Robert Robertson and a Richard Richardson (there was also Gary Gray so he was close!!). My first thought is how unoriginal are the parents??

The people with unfortunate surnames could be longer!! :D

[mar]

I was thinking of the politician too, but then realised what you meant about Drew Peacock. Oh dear!

[reAllytee]

My cousins name is Clint so you can imagine what part of the female genitalia he was called throughout his school years :rolleyes:
When i worked at Amex we had a Jesus Christ as a cardmember i kid you not as well as a Wayne Kerr I dreaded making that call :o
And guess what my last name will be when i get married ....
Saint !
Hahhaa so my partner is a Saint & so is my son .... shame i think otherwise :rolleyes: ;)
