Reminds me of a company I once worked for where the Customer Relations manager was named I. Hatem. I always wondered how that went over the first time he met with a customer.

When I was in high school we had a teacher who’s only teaching job was to teach music and who’s last name was “Music”.

He really lived up to his name, because he could teach anyone who attended his class (with enough time) to play a musical instrument or learn how to read music.

I once had a school headmaster call Richard Head. Of course most students referred to his Christian name in the dimunitive.

In my time, in my Brooklyn HS, we did that most of the time, regardless of what our teachers name were.

In the late eighties Westland Helicopters from the U.K. and Augusta from Italy teamed to build and market the EH-101 helicopter. As part of this program they issued a Request for Proposals to supply ice detectors for the helicopter. The proposals were required to be submitted to one Jack Frost.
