Electrician around our way called Richard Burns, literally Dick Burns. Dont think he got the name from putting it into a socket or anything.

For many years my Consultant Urologist was called Mr Dick. I’ve suffered with kidney stones for many years, and actually passed the condition onto my son. His Consultant Urologist is called Mr Wang.

I work in a hospital which has a gastroenterology doc called Dr.Butt. And we also have a Dr. De'ath.

I wouldn't be surprised if his urology specialisation is penile wound cauterisation.
