Aptonym - when a person's surname matches their occupation

Dear Editor:

My lifetime personal best aptonym was the medical director of Seattle Children's Hospital* when I was in pediatric training there. What better aptonym than the late Doctor Jack M. Docter?

(* back in the days when it was still called "Children's Orthopedic Hospital and Medical Center"
