  • Aptronyms - tell us your story

    Just watching a re-run of a Seinfeld episode where the Library Investigator (for overdue books, lol) was named "Bookman".

    We all come across people whose names are funny given their job or the context in which you meet them. Or maybe even you have fulfilled some strange destiny by taking on an occupation that matches your surname.

    A dentist named Payne. A chiropractor named Krack. A doctor named Feaver. An electrician named Sparks.

    So many examples... so tell us of your real life experiences when you met a person and had a little chuckle to yourself about their name given their job or the context of when you learned their name.


    *insert story about being named after two dogs or the mountain climbing joke*

      OK, I'll kick off.

      I knew a Dr Killer (chief medical of a major private hospital) when I worked there as a student years ago.

      I was lectured by a Dr Blood (lecturer in physiology), and a Dr Cummings (a zoologist specializing in sperm biology - I swear this is true).

              I know someone who is Lawry, she is a Lawyer (nickname Law) - a damn good one too in case she's reading also married her...

              Her friends last name is Lawton, also a lawyer. Always gave me a little chuckle.

                              During my bachelor years I knew a guy who had the largest collection of adult movies, no one human could possibly have a need for so many. His name was Wayne King.
