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."

OK. Help me out. What is wrong with the name "Teresa Green"?

One of my aunts adopted a little girl while their family was
missionaries in Taiwan. The family took the first letter from the
first names of the adoptive parents and siblings, ending up with the
name "Mejchal", pronounced "Mey-shall". Given that Mejchal is
Eurasian, a lot of people assume that it is an ethnic name that they
haven't heard of before.

Are you sure you weren't being put on? Snopes thinks that pair of
names is an urban legend. See

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

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?
