   There used to be an office in my neighbourhood with the name Dr. Kill M.D. on the door that always made me laugh.

   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

   Here in Toronto there is a doctor who performs penis enlargements, his name is Dr. Stubbs. He learned the procedure from a Dr. Long. Kind of a before and after collaboration.

   I used to do the same but in Spanish. Not all were related to their profession some were just really ad cominations.

   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...

    Wow, I come here and the first thing I see is the picture, and I think to myself... "Whoever this guy is he sure looks alot like my local weatherman".

    I have been enjoying the humor of his name for the past 20 years or so.

    My driver's ed teacher many many years ago was a Mr. Karr (and a darned fine teacher he was, too--one of my favorites).

    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.

17. KIT CLOUD

    My anatomy prof. was named Dr. Slaughter. My sister has a friend who's grandfather is a pediatrician named Dr. Frankenstein. That freaked me out the first time that showed up on caller i.d.

    I was going to mention the law firm Payne & Fears and the LA weatherman Dallas Raines, but others have beat me to it.

    But I know of a guy who's name is Rusty Gates. And an attorney named Robert Kum.

28. Chandrielle
    February 23rd, 2009 at 2:36 pm

    I loved Dallas Raines. When I moved to Dallas I expected a weatherman named Anaheim Blizzard, but no such luck.

    My sister's orthodontist was Dr. Payne.

    I ran on my high school's cross-country team. Our coach was Mr. Trott.

    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.")

    There's a Dentist not to far from my home who's name is Carver he has a large sign out in from of his Office that reads; "Dr. Carver." He should have been a surgeon.

    My dentist is named Kennith Cox. I'm sure to an 8th grader that's funny.

    A local pediatric orthopedic doctor we've worked with is named Dr. Walker.

    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!

    The doctor who delivered me (and my mother as well, years earlier of course) was named Dr. Patch.

    He remained my doctor until he retired in the late '90s.

    There is a urologist in Texas named Dr. Dick Tinkle. I am not making this up. I encountered his name in a past medical billing job and experienced epiphany.

    It's not exactly "appropriately named", but it's funny: there's a patent law firm named "Harness, Dickey & Pierce". Offices in Ann Arbor, MI, St. Louis, MO, & Washington DC. Their domain is their initials, HDP dot com. They don't exactly emphasizes the "Pierce" in their name, I wonder why not?

    My pediatrician's name was Dr. Butcher. There was also a dentist in town named Dr. Slaughter.

    I once knew a guy named Richard Painter. He changed it by taking his middle name and his wife's last name.
