Actual Names of Professionals

On of the e-groups to which I belong, someone recently asked for a recommendation for a doctor in our local area. Another list member suggested a doctor whom her family uses, and the name was rather interesting for that type of doctor. Soon lots of people on the list shared names of professionals – beyond doctors – whom they either know, use, or know to be “real people”. The list got to be so humorous that I decided to compile the list to this blog. Remember that these are real folks!

Lesson to all of us: be careful what you wish for your child to become “when she or he grows up”, especially considering what your family name may be! Enjoy.

I’m sure you know of others, yet this is a good starter for a few chuckles.
