This is exactly what I was hoping to hear from y’all.
Thanks for your contributions, I’m enjoying this. Special thanks to philjs for pointing out there’s actually a word for this.. aptronyms. I didn’t know that. And actually, I have another I remembered after I started this thread. In Eugene Oregon in the 60’s, there was a shop teacher at Roosevelt Jr High named Mr Hammer. I mention those details hoping someone else may have been in one of his classes. Last edited by woodbox; 12-08-2019 at 11:20 PM.

When we were ski bumming in Colorado in the 80s, my buddy broke his thumb. Guy that treated it in Vail was a Dr. Payne.

I have an acquaintance who is an electrician whose last name is Short. He kids about this all the time, and told me that he seriously considered naming his company Short Electric.

Once had to see the ophthalmologist whose first name was Seymour!
And I am sure I had a server once whose first name was Bill.

My wife's doctor (now retired) was Dr. Flake (and pronounced that way too). I could never say his name with a straight face, so I would just nod politely and shake his hand when we went to see him.
