Most fitting name?

[MikeO996]

Saw in the paper today that the White House press secretary is "Josh Earnest" - could a spokesman have a better name?
Also this week came across Kenton Cool - explorer - he was never going to grow up to be an accountant with a name like that (not to mention Bear Grylls).
I have always had a suspicion that people with mental health issues have a higher than chance rate of unfortunate names (leading to playground bullying????), but I guess the opposite is also bound to be true.

Any good examples?

You're aware "Bear" isn't his real name aren't you?
Edward Grylls...should've gone in to the fast food industry with Stephen Fry really....
I can see it in neon above the door....

Nah, too literal. No "Jethro Farmer the farmer" type-responses either allowed, but Prof Smart definitely yes

New Scientist used to run fairly regular stories on nominative determinism in their feedback section, there's a lot of good one's out there. I think it started with a series of books on the arctic by a Mr Snowman and a urology paper by a Doctor Weedon.

I know a Doctor Healing.
