Last Name Game
Jul. 25th, 2008 02:18 pmI had to do research about clergy people at my job, and I came across some really unfortunate last names:
Rev. Gross Rev. Luster
Rev. Leech Rev. Petty
Rev. Crook Rev. Rich
Rev. Dix Rev. Threat
Rev. Graves Rev. Smuts
And some "good" ones:
Rev. Church Rev. Rainbow
Rev. Chapel Rev. Sing
Rev. Christensen Rev. Hope
Fr. Father Rev. Goodman
Fr. Good
So, who do you know that has an unfortunate name for their profession? Or fitting? Also, would you avoid someone because they had a "bad" last name? Like Dr. Pain, Captain Sink or Professor Dumbaz?

Date: 2008-07-26 01:19 am (UTC)There is a Dr. Love at the clinic I go to, but my parents don't really like him.
There's a proctologist where my sister goes to school named Dr. Aas. Where I went to school there was a Dr. P. Burke (although the P is not for Preston, like on Grey's Anatomy).
