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?

Which ones are urban legends, @BertrandRussell ?

Nearly 20 years ago, I was an assistant to a forensic accountant named Fellin. Yep, pronounced "Felon".

And in the 'name DEFINITELY fits job' category, a good friend's husband had his vasectomy performed by this guy!!

About 20 years ago the Mayor of the town of Petts Wood... Was Peter Wood.

There's a Doctor round here, now retired, with the name, Soper.
Dr Dick Soper.
Nice man.

Local police officer

In a hospital where I once worked, there was a Nurse Nurse and a Doctor Doctor.

My dad was taught to swim as an adult by a teacher who would only call himself by his first name. Turned out his surname was Drown.
I had a doctor called Doctor Pox as a child.

I knew a police officer many years ago, Sgt Bacon.

There’s a US actor called Garrett Wang. He’s NOT a porn actor.

A local coroner is Dr Harrowing

The surgeon, who operated on my Ds, is called Mŕ Butcher

Dr Cockshott, working in IVF. Mr Pigg, the butcher. Both were clients of a firm I worked for long ago and with fond memories. Also a Ceri and Dick Devine - my boss could not see why I found this funny.

There is an ENT consultant called Mr. Smelt.
😀

When my dog was attacked by another dog the police came to interview us. Two police officers. One was PC Barker.

What a great name!

Went to school with a girl who’s father was a gynaecologist. Their surname was Love.

‘Lay back and relax madam, Dr Love will see you now’

One of the doctors I worked with was called Dr De Ath.

Was actually spelt DeAth but he asked us to separate it on documents so as not to scare patients

I know an oncologist called Dr. Graves

The surgeon who removed my appendix was Mr Tombs.

We had a childhood Gp called Dr Death, though it was pronounced dee-ath

Not quite so good but one of the ladies who worked in the office of my old college was called Miss Meany. She was one of the loveliest people I've ever met, but to call her by her first name also felt slightly disrespectful so I still just call her Miss.

Met a nurse by the name of Angela De'Ath 😳

BertrandRussell: Not only is there an MP called James Cleverly, but he represents the constituency of Braintree!

My old GP Dr Butcher

I know a gardener with the surname Green. There is or was a firm of estate agents called Doolittle and Dalley. I am told that at one point, the leader of the Republicans in the American Congress was called Delay. Which reminds me that the name of the current American President can arouse some giggles, at least from Brits!
