When its used as a name, I don't think of its slang meaning, but I can't speak for anyone else. A friend of my mother had a terrible time with her name, Mrs. Horney. She was 75 years old before she knew of the "other" meaning, so couldn't understand why the neighborhood kids would laugh at and torment her.

In 1968 a man named Peter Beter ran for governor of West Virginia. I am not making this up.

I know what the names (linguistics) mean. Sounds like many people I know. "CrazyDon" Did you really run for office!?!? I met someone from WV (sat next to) on a flight. I was coming home from a work thing. Traveling on the job is not so cool!!
