I once heard of a proctologist whose name was Dr. Finger. I also heard of a story of a guy named William who became a doctor. He thought that it was unseemly for his friends to call him by his childhood nickname, "Big Bill".
It got me to thinking. What if there were a burial plot salesman named Mr. Graves?
Can you think of any other names that would suit a particular profession perfectly?
I knew of a dentist named Dr. Paine.
The Law firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe
My junior high shop teacher was named Mr. Wood.
I know there's a Dr. Randy Balls out there somewhere, but I'm not sure what his specialty may be...
If Phyllida Law became an attorney, would she change her first name to Sue?
A fireman named Mr. Phlame.
A plumber names Mr. Waterman.
A gardener named Mrs. Flowers.
There is a guy who lives on the other side of town who cooks for a living down at one of the local restaurants.
His name is Jason Fryberger.
Let's not forget our Chinese import - dentist Dr. Fang
...and then there was Desiree Ficker - actually she was a professional triathlete.
Of course, we could fill this entire thread with the names of adult film stars, but that would be too easy and might frighten the children.
Do you know the race car driver Kiki Wolfkill? She's pretty too!

How does that tie into the subject matter, Jane? Are you implying she kills wolves with her car? Please explain.
The pediatrician for my older children was Sandra Box. Box was her married name and she was very careful when naming her children. I thought she had a terrific name for a pediatrician, but she herself was a dignified older woman who thought there was nothing funny about her name.

Sorry, Jane, but you were the only one.
(Why must I be so cruel?)
