Can't top that, but when I lived in Anchorage AK (1985), there was a dentist named Dr. Paine.

Our family GP in Adelaide was Dr. Clapp. Many years later, had his nephew (same name) as a surgeon in Sydney.

Worked with a plumber called Crapper in the past and visited a dentist called Steven King, lots of jokes about horrifying experiences.;) :eek:
