Puntastic names

Ok I am officially thick, I have inadvertantly given Ds a puntastic name, what do I do? Do I change it or let him be (he is 19 months) I mean it's a perfectly respectable name, but can imagine the jokes once he hits secondary school. Do I avoid this potential pitfall, or hope that his classmates names are weirder, or he is a popular student, I mean kids will get picked on for anything, right?

I didn't get it, until a couple of months ago, it would be odd to change his name.

Thankyou cheesesarnie, I think I will just leave it and hope for the best. I cannot believe I didn't think of this when I was pregnant lol.

oh it's fine.
my parents named me something that with first initial and last name basically said Penis. so that's what they called me at school.
It was funny. I survived.
