I never met a name I didn't like.
My dad and I collect names. But not just any names. These are names that somehow match the person's profession. In some way, either the person's first, last, or both names directly or indirectly (by way of a pun) describe or reflect the person's livelyhood. Admitedly, some are a stretch. Others are a tad obscure. But I think you'll find most of them at least amusing.
Most important to note is that these are all real people with whom my dad or I have come in contact in some way (either in person or by just seeing their name in print or in the media), or have verified from a believable source. (Since publishing this list on the Web, some names have been contributed by surfers to this site, and are so noted).
