They just had a little item on the local radio about names of people and how they related to their occupation. Some of them were navy sailors (seamen) the names were:

Seaman Siemen

There was also a plumber called Dwayne Pipe. They swore these were all real.

Anyone have any others?

My sister once had surgery performed by a Dr. Slaughter.

A bit off point, but for you Seinfeld fans (both of you) there was an episode that Ross came up with a fake name for someone that sounded so phony, I never would have believed it to be real. That name was Vicrahm. I saw that episode a week or so ago, and the next day I had a customer with that exact name.
I did have a loan officer at a bank one time with the last name Bonebreak.

Had a distant cousin called George Lamb who was a sheep farmer, who met and lived will a lady called Phyllis Wolf. Their telephone was all "4's". They had enormous difficulty getting supplies and services as everyone thought they were playing with them.

There was an army general whose last name was "General." So he was called General General (I guess that is the technical name of a 4 star general, but he was only a 1 star).

[Vasco]

Not to mention Catch 22's Major Major.

[Sunspot Baby]

For the old Dolphin fans, I always liked the football player, Jim Kick. He was not however a kicker.

If Claudia Schiffer married a guy whose last name was brains could she legally be called Claudia Schiffer-Brains?

[windsaloft]

In the army, I ran across:
Major Minor
Private Matters
Captain Courage
Sergeant-Major Major

really........

But the best name I have ever encountered in real life comes from a young man from back home in Wyoming, quite the ballplayer, John Wayne Comesrunningbuck. He had a lot to live up to.
