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 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.?
Stunned ... Russell, Drew and Shetal
Mum Shetal Patel, 28, had 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.?
