In 1975, Lawrence Casler from the State University of New York at Geneseo compiled a list of over 200 academics working in fields associated with their last names. Casler’s list includes an underwater archeologist called Bass, a relationship counsellor called Breedlove, a taxation expert named Due, a medic studying diseases of the vulva called Hyman, and an educational psychologist examining parental pressure called Mumpower. In the later 1990s, New Scientist magazine asked readers to send in similar examples from their own lives. The resulting list included music teachers Miss Beat and Miss Sharp, members of the British Meteorolical office called Flood, Frost, Thundercliffe and Weatherall, a sex counsellor named Lust, Peter Atchoo the pneumonia specialist, a firm of lawyers named Lawless and Lynch, private detectives Wyre & Tapping, and the head of a psychiatric hospital, Dr McNutt. My own favourites are the authors of the book A Student’s Guide to the Seashore, John and Susan Fish.
Pelham’s work suggests that examples like this may not be entirely the result of chance, but rather of some people being unconsciously drawn to occupations related to their name. As a professor of psychology called Wiseman, I am in no position to be sceptical about the theory.
