Apt names

Postby Mandrake » Oct 29th, '09, 17:12



I just had a call from our bank at work to check a few details, and the girl who phoned gave her name as Isa. So that's someone in the world of finance with the name of a type of investment account!

Any other apt names out there?

When I bought a new VW car 10 years ago the official dealer's name was Terry Trust. I swear that this is true.

There's a name for having a name that reflects your job (Mr Bun the baker, etc.). It's called nominative determinism.

That's weird. My father is called Nominative Determinism Grue. He's a behavioural psychologist.

My brothers maths teacher was called Mr Pratt. And I had a gym teacher called Mrs Clench.

A gastroenterologist at my hospital is called Dr. Butt, you can verify that fact if you wish.

Also, my fiancee knows a medical student called William Hurt. So presuming he qualifies, he will be "Doctor Will Hurt" :lol:

The current Lord Chief Justice (now the top judge in England and Wales) is called Lord Judge.

Confused me at first, because I'd never heard a judge referred to as lord judge, thought it was a strange English thing that came from the Constitutional Reform Act, turns out it was just his name...
