My family doctor for the longest time was Dr. Kinsey. Kinsey sounds a lot like “Ken Shee”, which means sword master in Japanese.
In the Army I met a Sgt. Green, a Lt. Colonel (Colonel was the family name, not the rank), a Pvt Pile (not Pyle. Close) and Sgt. Buddy (“I need to talk to my Sgt Buddy”. “He’s not your buddy, he’s a professional”. “No, really. His name is Buddy”)
Not too long ago, I read an old Reader’s Digest “Humor In Uniform” item from a Mrs. Empey, whose daughter was an MP. Apparently, a lot of the base personnel liked to say “MP Empey.”
I I had an oral surgeon named Dr. Ripp as a kid. It was hard to get me to go.
Unfortunately, all I’ve seen around here is a Dr. Fashun who directs music : \
In my town, we have Dr. Doctora.
And somewhere in Mississippi, there is an injury attorney named Chuck Norris.
I have a Dr. Au (pronounced “ow”)
I have Dr. Ha. 🙂
And a Dr. No
I went to a dentist once named Dr. Chu (pronounced ‘chew’)

My previous dentist was Dr Hertz
