I have a friend who has a teacher in Home Economics/Cooking/Domestic Science (whatever you want to call it) named 'Mrs. Cook'.
There is a priest of a church near my house with the name 'Priest Faggotter' (well I think it's funny).
I think there is a Dr. Payne somewhere here too, I recall reading a Doctor's Surgery sign with his name on it.

In our locality there was a nurse called Nurse DEATH (pronounced Dee-ath).
Who would want to be treated by her?
