NAMES TO SUIT

Have any of you come across any names that suit their job, or their company?

For example, when I worked at the Milk Marketing Board, I regularly wrote to a Mr Haddock, who was Manager of the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. (MAFF). I always found that comical.


I've also heard of:

Bonnie Tilers and William the Concreter.

There also used to be a big machine in Wigan that slurped up the dirt in drains called "The Purple Sludge Gulper."

Any more?

I'm sayin' nowt,,,,

I did know a parachutist who told me his job was, a down to earth occupation

There must be lots more out there with that typical British humour. I'm sure I've heard of others in the past but I can't remember them now.

There is a chap near me does gardens, On his van is written, Edens Gardening services,

Nice one! He should have called it Gardens of Eden!

Nice one! He should have called it Gardens of Eden!

Nice one! He should have called it Gardens of Eden!

you see a lot of hair dressers with names to suit, The Villagehairs , is one I've noticed in Billinge,

What the heck is going on with my computer tonight? I keep getting double and triple posts and I'm doing nothing different than I normally do!

Yes Tom, hairdressers do tend to have names to suit their professions. Can't think of one offhand though.

There is a restaurant called the Thyme & Plaice

The BBC weather presenter who's name is Sarah BLIZZARD?

I once watched a documentary on woodlands; one of the people in the doc was called Hazel Birch (although I'm pretty sure she made this up as a screen name).

Mr B. Inman - Accountant.

Wrong job mate!

Thomas Crapper

Tommy Tee, That is a good example of reverse names to suit, After he invented the toilet his name became synonymous with what you do on his invention hence, Taking a dump became taking a crap.

Seems he didn't invent the toilet then

Crapper held nine patents, three of them for water closet improvements such as the floating ballcock, but none for the flush toilet itself.[9]

Crapper's advertisements implied the siphonic flush was his invention. One such advertisement read, "Crapper's Valveless Water Waste Preventer (Patent #4,990) One movable part only", even though patent 4,990 (for a minor improvement to the water waste preventer) was not his, but that of Albert Giblin in 1898.[10][11] However, Crapper's nephew, George, did improve the siphon mechanism by which the water flow starts. A patent for this development was awarded in 1897.[12]

The Scottish cloak room attendant, Hangus McCoatup,

The Billy no mates club secretary...Stan Dalone,

The American desert tour guide,,,Harry Zona,,,,,,

Ne' mind about Thomas Crapper. We've already done that discussion elsewhere.

Thinking about it, the chippy on Gidlow Lane is called Gidlow Plaice.

Gidlow Plaice - Ince Plaice - Haydock Plaice - Victoria's Plaice (in Lowton) ....... and guess what? None of them sell Plaice! Bloody Frauds!!

Oh., and there's Pennington Plaice in Leigh too. Now that's a good chippy, but they don't sell Plaice either. I know, because I specifically asked for Plaice, Chips and Peas, on purpose!

Those "plaice" names don't take much imagination, do they?

Nominative determinism.
