On the way to work today we passed a van that had the name Karl Brew on it. It was a beer distributer truck. That's a cool name for a distributer. I started thinking about the names I've seen for different businesses. One was Karl Pile and he is a Septic Tank cleaner. (No, I didn't make that up.) Some others I've seen were Joe Diggs - a well digging company and Peter M. Schoen - a chiropractor (The name doesn't go with the occupation, but it's a funny one.)
I remember George on Seinfeld wanting to be a porn star. He said his name would be Buck Naked. Here are some names with occupations that I might choose:
Rock Hard - porn star
Art Masterson - famous artist
G. Clef - music composer
Rocky Starr - a rock star (Of course it is. I know, it's too obvious.)
Buck Shot - gun store owner
Marty Gras - party organizer
Read Newstand - newspaper guy
B.L. Schmidt - politician
I think being a porn star would be a tough job. Aside from the obvious hang-ups, what happens when you get older? I guess you change your name to C.I. Alis.

Bob,
I can't find the correct spelling, but there's term called a "uninym" (phoenetically speaking) where your name describes your occupation. Which I always thought was pretty cool. You've got a pretty good list so far.
Later.
