I agree completely! I worked with a woman whose daughter went to
school with twins. Lemonjello and Oranjello (I kid you not - like
Jell-O!). I didn't even know those kids and still made fun of
them.

Are you sure you weren't being put on? Snopes thinks that pair of
names is an urban legend. See
http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/names.htm

I went to college with a woman named Starr Bright, and another one
named Honey Combs.


I went to school with a Candace Caine. In high school, the
secretary/receptionist mistakenly paged her as "Candy", which she *NEVER*
went by.... y'think?

I used to work in the security department of an aerospace company. We
had files on all the employees with security clearances. One of those
employees was named Robin Hood. His middle name was Sherwood.
Apparently he didn't mind the name - he had a daughter named Marian and
a son named John.

I'm like you, I didn't catch it when I first read it. OTOH,
schoolkids
can tease unmercilessly, and all it takes is one kid to catch on
and
the teasing would follow him the rest of his life.

It's definitely much worse than Teresa Green.
I'd be inclined to change his name. If they like both the names
they could
swap them to the other way round. Peacock Drew.
(although I really can't see why anyone should want to call their
child
"Peacock" at all.)
Maybe it's just me, but I think that naming a child is a serious
business as
what you decide will stay with them for the rest of their life.
Aaargh. So stop naming your children Peacock, Romeo, Peaches, and
so. Give
them proper names that they will be proud of and won't make others
s******
at them for the rest of their life. What's that stupid name a pop
star
called his child? Something Tigerlily?
I think they must be "on something."

Oh, I just assumed that Peacock was their last name. If it's not, and
they are choosing that as the kids middle name, then they are even
dumber! Sheesh! I really think they need to change it. I was bugged
mercilessly as a kid about my last name (Hölzl) which nobody could
pronounce so it became Hazel, Hiltzel or even Hoser. Am I ever glad I
got married young to a guy with a really normal name!

I was under the impression that Peacock was the family surname. If
Peacock were his middle name, he wouldn't have to use it.

Or at least, until they're old enough to decide to change their name -
which, unfortunately, is not reached until long after their tender years
when schoolyard trauma is experienced. *That's* what will stay with them
for the rest of their lives!

Well, there was Frank Zappa, who named his kids Dweezil and Moon Unit. As
far as I know, though, they've kept those names, and have in fact seemed
to use them to their own advantage, since they are also in show biz. Plus,
they're probably as weird as he was!

I don't know about a Tigerlily, though.

I think Peacock was the family name, they should definately change his
first name. Which is worse than Rosie Bottom, and that's a real name
too.
