As a child I lived near a shop which was called 'Billy Baker - High Class Butcher' which always amused me. More appropriately the was Graper the greengrocer.
I used to work for a charity which help elderly owner occupiers arrange repairs to their home. A plumber we used regularly was very amused when I got married and became Lee Kerr.
We have relatives called Joe, Lou and Paul; that is joker, lucre or looker, polka.
No Wayne or Jaun though.

Jack Kevorkian. Is he famous today because of is ideas of a patient's "right to die" and claims to have assisted at least 130 patients. He is famous for his quote "dying is not a crime." I believe is was sent to prison in the last 80's, and is currently serving out a 10 to 25 year prison sentence for second-degree murder in the 1998 poisoning of a man in Michigan.

I have heard of this name. I can't think of someone's name who fitted his profession at the moment. The funny name experience I had was when I bought my last car. It belonged to a lady called Mrs Salmon and the dealer who sold the car to me was a Mr Haddock. Fortunately, there wasn't anything fishy about the car.

New Scientist magazine runs regular sections on this sort of thing - they call it nominative determinism!
There was a Turf Accountant in Derby called Robin Bastard!
