People Share Names That Perfectly Match Jobs: 'Dentist named Dr. Drewel'
Some people have names so perfectly matched to their jobs, it's hard not to wonder if fate had a hand in it — like the dentist named Dr. Molar or the meteorologist Larry Sprinkle. Coincidence? Probably. Funny? Absolutely.
When Tyler Froberg, a Texas-based fifth-generation farmer, and U.S. Army veteran, served in the military, he trained in dive school. There were two supervisors: Sergeant Wazowksi — nicknamed 'Wookie' — and Sergeant Gills.
'I made a joke one time and asked, 'When do we get our cool nicknames?' Froberg recalled.'And Sergeant Gills looked at me and goes, 'What do you mean by that?''
Froberg, 33, had mistakenly assumed that Gills, like Wookie, was short for something more ordinary.
'Imagine you're a diver in the army and your last name is gills!' Froberg says, laughing at the memory.
Froberg also knows Trevor Bales, a hay farmer, and Harold Winger, a pigeon breeder.
Earlier this year, Froberg invited his TikTok followers to share 'someone whose name fits perfectly with their career choice.' Their responses did not disappoint: A urologist named Dr. Leak, and even a choir teacher named Brenda Music.
'We have a cat scan tech named Catherine Skan. She is literally Cat Skan.'
'Chiropractor in my town is Dr McCracken.'
'My high school cooking teacher was Miss Fish … until she married and became Mrs Baker.'
'Orthodontist in Albuquerque named Dr. Hurt. He's tag line: It's just my name, not my intention.'
'My grandparents were farmers and Farmers.'
'Worked with a woman years ago whose name was Penny Nichols. Then she got married and became Penny Cash. And yes, she worked in the Accounting Department.'
'Dentist named Dr. Drewel.'
'My kids dentist is Dr. Silvertooth.'
'There's a urologist in Toledo named Dick Tapper.'
'Oakland police academy instructor Sgt Sergeant.'
'My mom's best friend was a Barber with the last name Barber.'
'A urologist ... Dr. Brian M. Dicks. 100% serious!! His wife took his name and is a gynecologist!!'
'my podiatrist dr. corn.'
'Surgeon in my hometown named Dr. Cutright.'
'My partner is a litigation attorney. Part of his job is to examine witnesses in court. His last name is Grills.'
'There was a teacher at my high school named Mr. Wood. You guessed it. He taught woodshop.'
'Dr in Houston. Dr Butts. Proctologist.'
You can't make this stuff up, and with names like these, you don't have to!
