Nominative Determinism
Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine's humorous "Feedback" column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames. These included a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman and an article on urology by researchers named Splatt and Weedon. These and other examples led to light-hearted speculation that some sort of psychological effect was at work.
This is a community for posting real-world examples of names that by coincidence are funny in context. A link to the article or site is preferable, as well as a screenshot of the funny name if it's not in the headline. Try not to repost, and keep it fun!

I am SO CURIOUS as to what it feels like riding a fucking 650kmph train. I WANT
Scenery inches by a fraction faster than on a regular train. A number above the carriage door tells you the speed and that's all any tourist looks at. You feel nothing.
The Amtrak Acela hits 120mph for some stretches. I think that's the fastest train in the US.
I assume that's moving backwards so that the freight train can pass by them.
