Surnames that Fit an Occupation - Zinjanthropos - Mar 7, 2026
Or an occupation that fits certain surnames. Names like Baker, Carpenter, obvious. A ichthyologist named Fish etc. When I hear Trump I sometimes think of a card player, Bridge or Euchre. But my favourite of all time belongs to my local councilwoman. Her last name happens to be Noyes, that’s right, No/Yes….perfectly fitting for a politician. Have you a favourite?

I recall a newspaper mention once of some married town or city official who had a scandalous interaction with a male prostitute named Richard Plowman.
