To find people's surnames that really don't fit their jobs funny

[Butterfly98]

DH knows an accountant called Mr Crook, I always giggle when he mentions him as I still find the name funny after all these years, apparently he's got a very serious personality and doesn't like anyone joking about the name, to be fair he's probably heard them all by now! Separately, our old neighbour was a baker and his name really suited his job as he was actually a Mr Baker! Do you know anyone with a surname that either does or doesn't fit their profession?

And the surgeon who delivered my first child was called Dr Jolly.

When he came into the room he shook my hand and said, ‘Hello, I’m Dr Jolly’ and I said, ‘I’m glad someone is.’

There used to be a urologist at my local hospital called Dr Dick.

ANOther one! Can there be 3 of them?

There is a local dentist called Mr I Smiley.
I had a French language teacher called Mrs France.

Woodwork teacher at high school was called Mr W Izzard

Dr Payne...

40 years ago our hospital sexually transmitted diseases clinic was run by a Dr Shankar. (For the non medical, a chancre, pronounced the same, is a syphilitic sore!)
Our anatomy department was headed by Prof Dick.

An IFA called Sarah Connor?

I know of a guitar teacher called Mr Fretwell and an anaesthetist call Mr Killingley!

There is a porn star called Ben Dover...

It’s like his parents pushed him into the job.

Same as above, my childhood dentist and his dentist wife were Mr and Mrs Payne. Always made me snigger.

Urologist called Mr Burns-Cox!

I also know a Dr Scull and Dr De'ath.

When I was a kid, our doctor was called Dr Careless. He was nothing like his name and was an absolute sweetie.

Sorry you'll need to click on the picture for proof of urologist's name

Crikey those are brilliant! 😂 Forgot to mention that a friends GP's name in Essex is Dr Butcher!

Seriously though, most posts here are of surnames that do fit their jobs, but you asked for those that don’t fit their jobs.

To be honest I think there are many of those. For example, I know a lady called Rose Whittaker and she designs electric plugs and sockets. Now to me the name Whittaker does not have anything to do with electric gadgetry. Then I know a farmer called Keith Law and he knows nothing about the legal system.

I can think of more. However, I am not sure they are funny. More time consuming cataloguing then if I’m honest.

Our last postman was called pat

I knew a probation officer who was Mr Lawless.

Not particularly funny, but a new GP joined the local practice recently called Dr. Shipman. He's wonderful, but I bet people actively avoid appointments with him.

My GP as a child was Dr Coffin......

I’ve known two plastic surgeons, Mr Carver and Mr Hackett.

Army Dentist... Major Payne.
Introduced to all the kids as Dr. first name.

In the town I grew up, there was a proctologist named Dr. Gross.

I have encountered a Dr. Butcher.
At least he's a doctor not a surgeon...

The cleaner/caretaker at my DS's school was called Mr Bleach

A social worker who for a period managed a sexual exploitation team called Willy Goodwilly!

(His wife is called Gilly)
