Thanks, the list of people with aptronym names was fun to read and the section about inaptronym names was even better. I read them aloud to one of my flat mates and we had a good laugh.

I just saw something in one of those websites with overloaded side columns that had an article about a UK police officer named Rob Banks.

That's... hi-larious. Favorite from the Wikipedia names list: Don Black - white supremist.
