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

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?

Whenever he was mentioned in news reports about the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines, Cardinal Sin always raised a chuckle.

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.

I absolutely would’ve changed my name if I were him. Blimey.

I know of a PC Rick O’Shea but I don’t think he’s a firearms officer sadly.
