I met a man on another site with the biggest cock I have ever seen... he found he was always a little frustrated as quite a few women found it a little challenging (me too . His name was Horne.

A long time ago names were very deterministic. Surnames were not very common untill the 14th Century when John the Blacksmith became John Smith or John Smith and since trades ran in the family that surname would stick.

It is now only coincidental to find that.

Smith is still one of the most common surnames (certainly amongs Anglo Saxons) and I defy you to find a smith still working iron or a Mr Cooper who makes barrels.........

I've got a mate who's nickname is 'Flood' and when his son was born he automatically became known as 'puddle'.

We used to have a Dr. De'ath at our local practise although that was many years ago. His partners were Dr. Risk and Dr. Kurss (true )

But that's why it's interesting now... Like the osteopath called Supple or the bank worker called Teller.
