Would have been brilliant, actually. I wonder if some people choose their professions according to their last names. Mentioning Dr. Niederschlag ("Dr. Downbeat"), the anesthetist. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I was trying to locate the movie but it wasn't listed in imdb under the actor's name. It had a character whose first name was Colonel and his siblings were all give titles for their first names as a way to give them a start in the world. So he had brothers named Judge and Doctor.

William Faulkner wrote some stories about Colonel Sartoris Snopes, who was a little boy named after a civil war hero. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
