I've met people in Accounts called Ms Cashman and Ms Ledger ;a primary school teacher called Mrs Littlechild; and a gardener called Mrs Green. There were early/mid 20th century neurology textbooks by authors called Brain and Head, and there is a book on animal behaviour by Fox and Tiger (yes, really). There is a law firm in Warwickshire called Wright Hassall; read it aloud and it just about sums up any situation where one might need to consult a lawyer!
