[Misc] Nominative determinism

[MJsGhost]

I do like to spot a bit of nominative determinism at work and spotted this in the press today:
“Andy Drinkwater - lead engineer at the Water Research Centre”

Do your best NSC - including reverse nominative determinism too

I once had to ring up a plus-size bra company and speak to the press officer - one Ms Bosomworth

I was also once operated on by a surgeon called Mr Shearer

An old acquaintance of mine used to work for Rowse Honey in the warehouse. When taking deliveries he sometimes used to sign as 'B. Keeper'

Hardly anyone noticed, and it was a made up name.. so probably doesn't count.

My wife is a nurse, and one of the Doctors at her hospital was a 'Doctor De'Ath'. That's 100% true by the way.

I used to work for an Islamic Insurance company (insurance as it is traded in the UK is haram so sharia compliant companies fill the gap).
It was a new start up and our initial customer service team was to be 12 people, 11 staff + a team leader.

After all the interviews we ended up with 11 [muslim] staff and a team leader who happened to be non-muslim, but "unfortunately" his first name was Christian... giving the team a slightly odd outward appearance.

I went out with a Dr. Slaughter for a while. I remember for some reason, she used to make the most fantastic peach drink, like juice/lemoade with peaches.

PC Rob Banks was the best police officers name I have ever heard, sort of inverse ND. Genuine name too.

I seem to remember that my dentist as a child was called Mr Clutterbuck.

Orthodontics a speciality, presumably.
