What's in a name?

I've come across a few more while scrolling the web:

1) Paige Turner

2) Marshall Law

3) Earl E. Bird

4) Amanda Lynn (a mandolin)

5) Beau Tye

6) Beau Archer

7) Ali Katt

8) Al Bino

I wonder what other misunderstanding there
are especially for different name meanings
in different languages? That we may not be
aware of.

Lol Foxy!
The funny names I have come across include ones where their names seem to suit their chosen professions:

Doctor Waters- bladder specialist (urologist)

Doctor Kermode- bowel surgeon. (used to get really angry if we pronounced his name as 'commode'!)

Doctor Butcher (and sons)- a family of general surgeons! (I kid you not -the patients always thought I was joking!)

Mrs. Crapper- aged carer (incontinent patients)

Wouldn't you consider another profession if you had these names?

Dear Suze,

I would definitely change my name -
who on earth would go to a dentist
by the name of - Dr. Lar G. Paine?

Or a funeral director by the name of
Phuc Yu?

Or a librarian named - Paige Turner?
(hers isn't too bad).

Or a music teacher - Amanda Lynn (a mandolin)?

Got any more?
