Not exactly a profession, but I once knew a girl named Happy…who wasn’t very happy.
This is starting to sound like a limerick.
I found a site with some funny names.
there once was a girl named happy,

…and my dentist now is named Dr. Smiley. No joke.
Dr. Toothman was a dentist
A guy with the last name Pyro was a chimney sweep.

Do you think all of these people just careerially (totally made that up) caved under the constant ridicule and pressure? Name as self-fulfilling prophecy?
Except Happy, of course. Poor girl.

I went to this bar named Oasis…

My brother-in-law, last name Diamond, owned a jewelry store (up until several years ago).

Had a teacher in school named Mrs English… and yes she taught english.
Had a friend who worked in finance with surname Bogus – don’t know how he gets business.
I had a drama teacher named Sandy Butt, who NEARLY named her daughter Tanya.
What’s wrong with Tanya Butt? I mean, Butt is a shitty last name (no pun intended) but (no pun intended) Sandy Butt is way worse of a name than Tanya Butt. Tanya is just a normal (albeit annoying) first name. And while some Tanyas (or Tonyas) are asses, (see Tonya Harding), it makes no difference. Tanya Butt could’ve achieved greatness.
What’s wrong with Tanya Butt?
Tan ya butt.
As in, “I’m gonna tan ya butt for that.”
Better than naming the kid Enya
.
If she had twins she could name them Ima and Ura
