More aptonyms

An aptonym is the term for a surname that matches the owner's profession. See our previous article.

Here are a couple more people whose names appear in the SAN:

Jeff LeFlam is the fire marshall for the Northshore Fire District. Not sure what LeFlam really translates to, but it's too close to flame not to use.

Doug Parrott's pictures often appear in Christine Southwick's feature "For the Birds." Doug is, of course, a bird expert.

Anyone else?
