I used to go to an ear doctor named Dr. Earlie, and an optician named Dr. Register.

Worst glasses I ever got were from Dr. Wiggler

My first name is a drink and a stripper name. My last name means to eye amorously at someone. I think it's a sign not of a career, but of a lifelong TF membership.

/If I had married my fiancee, my initials would have been BLOW.

It's not exactly kosher to give out my full name on a forum, but it rhymes with Drandy Drogle.

I have no personal connection to it, but there used to be a business in Louisville called Watjen TV.

Larry the Corporate Developer. When those other motherfarkers see that on my business card they know they are in for some serious motherfarking corporate development.

My proctologist is named Poky McAnusfingers. I always thought that was a bit strange.

I should be a clan leader in Ireland, then. I summon all of the redhead TFettes to submit to me.

Here's my favorite aptronym: Linky (new window)

Bahahaha. My last name (no, I'm not posting it in here) would be PERFECT for this thread.

And I used to work with a veterinarian named "Dr. Leash."

For reals.

Brokes Brothers.

deadapostle: Brokes Brothers.

Holy cats! I totally messed this up. I thought the headline said that some people have suits tailor made to their careers and they wanted to know what brand name we'd have on our suits. Needless to say, I was pretty proud of my little joke until I realized that I'm a complete imbecile.

During my time in the army I met a Sergeant named Major, and two Sergeants named Sergeant. I also had the distinction of meeting Captain Hook while in Afghanistan.

Growing up, my best friend wanted to be a race car driver.

His last name is Vroom.

 
FissionMan1 2008-11-30 10:46:30 PM  
There is a urologist near my house and his name is Dr. Leek

The irony is strong with this one.

When we had DARE in school the cop assigned to our class was Officer Bacon.

Hi, I'm David The Computer-Guy. It's only two extra syllables, and I'll use them wisely!

 
liberalish 2008-11-30 10:48:27 PM  
My dad works with (or did, the guy may have retired) a Dr. Doctor.

I mean, seriously, even if you hate medicine you gotta, you just have to be Dr. Doctor if you have that name.

 
RemyDuron 2008-11-30 10:48:36 PM  
Sounds something like selection bias. Sure, it's striking when it happens, but you don't remember the much, much greater number of people without an appropriate name.

 
eff ewe 2008-11-30 10:49:05 PM  
I used to work with a guy named Dick Mayo

/really

 
imfallen_angel 2008-11-30 10:49:42 PM  
well, count me out.... first, english speaking people can't ever say my name correctly.

And as far as career, my name holds nothing in association with it at all.

The closest thing would have to be me choosing to be a "warrior" and that's stretching it to the the origins of my family name, while my first names holds nothing at all career wise.

Haddock is my last name, perhaps I should become a fisherman?

/Yeah, or not. :/

Different one, I am sure. This one is near me. (new window)

ANd no, he won't give me the news.

 
imfallen_angel 2008-11-30 10:51:37 PM  
also,

well, that WOULD explain the name of all the strippers I've met in my life...

 
funnycheeze 2008-11-30 10:51:40 PM  
How much dick could Dick Chopp chop if Dick Chopp could chop dick?
