I seem to be nicking ideas getting inspired by others' posts just recently. Today it was Duncan at Madhatters who'd posted What’s in a Name? about the unfortunate names parents burden 
their children with. I love the idea of a Ray Gunn, and Joe King or Joe Kerr I'm sure will exist (but not Juan I hope).
It reminded me of the short sighted clergyman who asked "Is that Fanny Greene I see in the congregation?". The reply echoed "No vicar, it's just the way the light's shining through the stained glass window".
My mental butterfly flittered on, and I recalled following back research papers on haemoglobin to the unlikely conjunction of Huisman and Dozy (I always wondered who did the thinking and who did the lab work on that team).
And that got me thinking about different name pairings and what they shouldn't be doing for a living, if they exist of course.
For instance:
Jackson and Pollock - interior decorators
Dyer and Dryer - ladies hairstylists
Filler and Pullman - dentists
Cooper and Fowler - chicken farmers
What else can we come up with... ?

Or the old one that my mate and myself used to call ourselves in the pub quiz in The Black Horse in Denshaw, Saddleworth...
"Norfolk and Chance"
The question master always used to call us Chance and Norfolk over the microphone.... funny that.
I can't do with Saddleworth moor. Kids under your feet everywhere.
