When Sarah Palin and her husband named their daughter Bristol they obviously did not know that Bristol is the Cockney (London) rhyming slang for "Titty" coming from the football (soccer) team Bristol City.

The only other Titty I can think of is Titty Walker in Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons" stories, and she was based on a real little girl, Mavis Altounian, who known as Titty in her family on account of her fondness for her "titty-bottle" when she was a baby.

Poor Bristol Palin, an unmarried mum-to-be. :-(
