Lucky escape - unfortunate name blunder, anyone realise too late?

Ds2 is Euan, we nearly spelt it Ewan.

He was just writing his name doing the flicky bits so that the U looked more like a W. He's not the only Euan in the class, so followed it with surname initial. Finger spaces need working on.....

I was quite shocked to see Ewank on his picture.

Anyone made a complete blunder and not realised until it was too late?

I knew a Virginia Hoare - think her parents were trying to over compensate for the surname they'd lumbered her withGrin

His parents really should have talked to more people about the name they were thinking of! Poor child.

I suppose the moral of the story is to always google any name you are thinking of

Kid you not, there was a Ewan Kerr in my high school! Shock

The mum in the next bed when I had DS was called Weall. She also had a baby boy, called Christopher. She told me she would have called a girl Catherine...

OP I hope your surname isn't Kerr...

BeaWheesht · 11/06/2013 20:49

I hope your surname isn't king

I worked with a girl who said her parents were A & RS Hole - cheques often raised an eyebrow. No relation I believe but know of a Phyllis Hole she should never have married him

Still giggle when I think of Shilloh Pitt.

Dick is quite a tricky surname to work with!

It was more the combination of blow job and dick I was pointing out. BJ is very very common.

My son is a B J. Shrugs.

AllegraLilac · 11/06/2013 20:20

I know a boy whose initials/name is B J Dick. Terrible.

Yep, we didn't google our dd's name until she was a couple of years old. The photo's that come up are very very inappropriate and it does really worry me for when she's older Sad but then I guess you can never know if a name will end up being associated with something bad when you name your kids.
