...comes "Appropriately Named," a blog that points out all of those names for people and businesses that are just too good to be true. My favorite? Dr. William Friend... proctologist. And to your left is Larry Sprinkle, weatherman. If only he was a urologist. Mostly this is an excuse to get you to share your own in the comments - so have at it!

Im skeptical about the names of local television news people. The weathermen/women always have a weather pun in their name. There is a helicopter pilot/traffic reporter here name Amelia Earheart
he ruled btw
The law firm of Payne & Fears had me do some work for them a while back.
A doctor named Dr. Payne...um and my dentist is named Dr. Picket.
yep
My two favorites were a teacher I have in primary school "Viuda de Alegre" that translates as "Happy's Widow" and the other one was "Victoria de Pitito" that (in Argentina, were I am from) translates as "Small penis victory"... I never, never understood why she used her husband last name (Pitito) directly with her name "Victoria" when she could have used her maiden last name in the middle.... It was difficult to see her business card and not giggle...
I have been enjoying the humor of his name for the past 20 years or so.

and a lot more that i cant think of, we've got some weird last names in general
oh and there is Mrs harsh, the evil beyond evil art teacher
Last time we had to switch our health insurance (and thus doctor), one of the providers available was a Dr. Frankenstein. I wanted to pick him as our primary care physician, just for the name, but my spouse thought that there were more important factors to consider. Go figure.
hehehehe...
But I know of a guy who's name is Rusty Gates. And an attorney named Robert Kum.
My sister's orthodontist was Dr. Payne.
And in the Atlanta area there was a Congressional Representative who was convicted of perjury and did a year in prison, then in 2007 was accused of making illegal campaign contributions to a city council member. His name is Pat Swindall (pronounced "swindle.")

Dr. Fillerup.
My dentist is named Kennith Cox. I'm sure to an 8th grader that's funny.
I love the idea of a paper on incontinence by J. W. Splatt and D. Weedon.
Then there is the guy I knew in the military whose last name is Majeres (pronounced 'majors'); guess what rank he held... Major Majeres.
Oh, and then there is a local urologist named Dr. Johnson. He's got a great sense of humor; when a new performing arts center was built, he donated a bunch of money to the project, and wanted to have the bathrooms named in his honor. True story!
He remained my doctor until he retired in the late '90s.
I once knew a guy named Richard Painter. He changed it by taking his middle name and his wife's last name.
