I have encountered a few people whose names were a remarkably good fit for their occupations. In the “Perfect “ category, I put a ceramics teacher named Mrs. Potter and a dance teacher names Mrs. Trotter. In the “Apt but unfortunate” category, there was a Ear, Nose & Throat specialist named Dr. Finger. “Honorable mention” goes to a foreign language teacher, with whom my Dad had worked. His name was Mr. Berman. You guessed it- he taught German. Needless to say, he was known to students as German Berman. You can’t make this stuff up.
I know of a physician whose name is Doctor Doctor. I'm also aware of a podiatrist whose name is Doctor Foote.
there was a police officer with the last name Lawless in my town many years ago..and a doctor t.c.poon.we called him dr. teaspoon.there are a couple of others but this is a family forum..
The doctor who did carpal tunnel surgery on my hands, also a plastic surgeon, his last name is Mitten.
a well known business/investment advisor on the radio here ,he is Richard Detman..Another news broadcaster is called Anita Bath..we avoid her..
I've known two dentists whose last names were respectively Dr. Fear and Dr. Paine. A judge named Slaughter. The same family of audiologists (3 generations) I've been going to since I was a child all have the last name of Hand.
My childhood doctor, who went on to maintain a close friendship with my Dad and the family, was named Dr. Treat. I mean.....he treated whatever ailed us, y'know.
I recall a music teacher, at my high school, named Mr. Ramon Musiker. I have recently learned that his son Lee is Tony Bennett’s accompanist.
In my childhood hometown in NJ, there was a doctor's office on our corner: Dr. Akey. Down the street was a dentist named Dr. Gentile.
During my days in the Air Force, ran into Sgt. Sergeant. In all seriousness, I did consider becoming a Maine Forest Ranger. I've often wondered what people would have said meeting Warden Warden.
You beat me to that one Steve. I spent a long time in the Air Force and have known Sergeants of almost all the ranks. Even one General Sergeant.
