What's your real name?

[Richie_asg1]

When I was a locksmith our Rep for Chubb locks was called Mike Lever. His car had a personalised numberplate - 5 Lever.

My partner used to go to school with a girl called Wednesday Knight.
And ended up working at a hospital with a Dr Payne.

There is a word for people who have significant names to match their job, but is it that they go for that job because they had that name?

Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread. Determinative nomenclature or something like that.

Mother once took group of schoolkids to a sewage works, before she took them had to visit it and it was run by Mr ****. She had to introduce him to the kids with a straight face, you can imagine.

On the same theme had a student called Mr S*h*i*t, did love calling his name out lol.

My spam folder is full of emails from ladies with weird names and even weirder ideas about what I am interested in. I have no idea why they send me these.
