The person who is in charge of administering grant money at our university has a surname which sounds exactly like French for "pays well".
Do you know anyone with an exceptionally appropriate (or inappropriate) name?

Something that never fails to amuse me

I had a dentist by the name of Dr Gummer...
While doing a search on Web of Science last year I came across a Turkish researcher with the last name of "Kukulu". "Kuku" is the term for vagina that kids use (though an online dictionary gives a more vulgar translation), and "lu" means "with." So her last name is "with vagina."
And she's a gynecologist. No joke!
a head of communications at a previous employer called Cassandra
I once met a fella who's first name was that of one of the States and his last name was phonetically the same as Chef (though spelled different). I later met a Chef from the same State as the previous fellas name sake.
Does that count?
Connecticut's chief medical examiner: Dr. Carver.
My dentist's name is Payne. He's actually gentle and kindly, though.
When I was at primary school the police officer who came around to talk about safety was Officer Crook. Apparently there was also an Officer Bandit somewhere.
At my student health one of the doctors was Dr Cox, apparently she also worked at the sexual health clinic. (At least my childhood GP, Dr Crabb did not work there).
Don't forget the former head of the Philippine Catholic Church, Cardinal Sin. (he used to take great delight in inviting people to the house of Sin.)
This is a slight tangent, but when I wa at school there was a lady on the school board called Mrs Cox. We were all highly amused when one of the staff kept referring to her (unintentionally) as Mrs Dick.
Those are awesome.
Grace, I used to go to Dr Payne too!
I knew a bassoonist named Melody Huffer once.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
