Surnames that match occupations - do you know of any?

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. It is of a native bush we saw in the Kalgoorlie area – a grevillea, I think. Have you ever laughed when someone connected with something has a very appropriate name? I knew of a Doctor Blood. I couldn’t remember any of the others so I went googling and there is a word/s for such a thing – aptronym, aptonym or euonym. There are dozens of examples there. I particularly liked Mark de Man, a Belgian footballer (defender), Learned Hand, an American judge, and Rosalind Canter, a British equestrienne. Digressing for a moment: I’m sure you’ve all heard of knitting, crocheting, tatting, etc. I was searching for information on using these skills for charity. I’ve made beanies for premature babies and for a hospital in Nepal and I was wondering what else was available. One site gave the name of their contact person – and it’s a Maureen Tatt. I’ve changed her first name. Do you have any examples to add to this?
