Names that really suit (or don’t suit!) a person

Have you met anyone whose name was particularly fitting for their character or job? Or the opposite?!

We had a physics teacher called Miss Motion -which seemed apt - and the local shop keeper growing up was called Mr Smiley, which definitely wasn’t - he was a real miserable bastard and all the kids were scared of him. I thought it was someone’s idea of an ironic joke for years but no, he really was just poorly named 😆

Anyone come across any other examples for some light hearted Saturday night entertainment?

I knew a Ms Moody, which was very appropriate and a boy I went to school with called Viking who was very small and gentle and it didn't fit at all

Slightly off piste but at a school there were Mr Cox, Miss Virgin and a Miss Nodder apparently caused great hilarity amongst the young pupils
