Mon nez est en Valenciennes..
An old acquaintance of mine used to work for Rowse Honey in the warehouse. When taking deliveries he sometimes used to sign as 'B. Keeper' 
Hardly anyone noticed, and it was a made up name.. so probably doesn't count.
My wife is a nurse, and one of the Doctors at her hospital was a 'Doctor De'Ath'. That's 100% true by the way.

I used to work for an Islamic Insurance company (insurance as it is traded in the UK is haram so sharia compliant companies fill the gap).
It was a new start up and our initial customer service team was to be 12 people, 11 staff + a team leader.
After all the interviews we ended up with 11 [muslim] staff and a team leader who happened to be non-muslim, but "unfortunately" his first name was Christian... giving the team a slightly odd outward appearance.

I went out with a Dr. Slaughter for a while. I remember for some reason, she used to make the most fantastic peach drink, like juice/lemoade with peaches.

Maybe Will Beer will go into the brewing game when he hangs up his bat.
PC Rob Banks was the best police officers name I have ever heard, sort of inverse ND. Genuine name too.
