Ok. My last name is Spiker. So if all goes as planned, one day I'll be Dr.Spiker.

Which, if I was a client, probably would seem funny or give you the heebie jeebies. Dr. Spiker -- that's only one step away from Dr. Hackemoff.

Anyways, does anyone else out there have a similar last name situation?

Would you consider changing your last name? I've toyed with the idea, but can't think of one I like and the paperwork seems annoying.

Yes, I know it's a silly post. But I've just gotten done with my finals and feel like my dorkiness is justified :)

I know a Dr. Kill.

Have also encountered Dr. Angst.

I amused myself once by googling "Pepper, M.D."

There's some cool (rather than bad) ones in my class- we will have vets who are Dr Surgeon, Dr Jolly, and, perhaps best of all Dr Rabbitt.

In a non-veterinary field I know a Dr Love!

I also knew a guy studying medicine who will be Dr Batman!

I know a guy who will be Dr. Ho when he graduates med school in the fall

me, I'll just be Dr. whose-name-nobody-can-pronounce

Dr Batman!!! :laugh: I like that!!

When I was a kid, my doctor was Dr. Payne.

I have a friend finishing school this year and his last name is Evil!! So he is going to be Dr. Evil!! Can anyone beat that?

My dentist is Dr. Mueller (pronounced just like "molar"). How appropriate. :)

When I'm dating a guy, I often think about whether his last name would sound okay with a "Dr." in front of it - these are important considerations! :p

My late grandfather's proctologist was Dr. Anil K. Ram. Just say it out loud real fast.

Those are all too funny! I worked for a vet named Dr. Katz, and had dentists named Dr. Pearl and Dr. Whiting. :o

That's awful! lol

Dr.Osama
Beat it..................:laugh:

Peace to the world.............:cool:
TuTuT

I will be Dr Law....Not as great as Dr Evil, but still seems something to consider. My sister is Dr Hook.

I worked with a Dr. Quick and Dr. Tallant!

I have a gynecologist named Dr. Butts. She's hilarious.

My last name sucks for a "Doctor" but if i marry by boyfriend I'll be Dr. Rocker. I like that a lot better haha

I know a Dr. Furr, DVM :)

I'm jealous of all the funny last names!

Dr. Katz is my favorite!

Dr Batman!!! :laugh: I like that!!

When I was a kid, my doctor was Dr. Payne.

I had a dentist when I was a kid with the same name! :D

it was a little daunting on our first day of class to find out our anatomy professor's name is Dr. Fails :) (little side note... best teacher ever!!!)

rofl :laugh:

I knew a guy in undergrad (who went on to attend medical school) who had a last name of Pepper. :) He'd be out of school, now, in his first year of residency, so there's at least one non-cola Dr. Pepper out there.

When growing up, my dentist's name was Dr. Needleman...

I work with a Dr. Saver. It's her married name..I've always thought that worked out well:cool:

I see a Dr. Heck for my eyes.

Knew a human doc named Dr. Hurt, I think it sits up there alongside Dr. Payne...not quite a Dr. Evil though! haha

cmon...no one knows a Dr. Pepper?

wow...reading is definitely not my strong suit!

My advisor is Dr. Payne and there is a dentist in town: Dr. Wisdom:laugh:

My pediatrician was Dr. Toy. He was cool.

I heard of a Dr. Love veterinary radiologist; she was/is available for telemedicine consults.

I can't think of any other good ones at the moment. .. :cool:

I know a doctor love as well.

i got my wisdom teeth extracted at the office of Dr. Bunch and Dr. Payne. i told them that i preferred Dr. Bunch as my surgeon. :o

oh yeah, there's also a vet in town named Dr. Fox

Dr. Doctor would be a good one too. :D

Haha, Dr. Payne is my favorite.
My pediatrician's name was dr. baum (bomb)

I have a friend with the last name Blood... don't believe he is going into any medical professions though. Too bad. =)

In four years, mine will be Dr. Ha so I don't believe I can say much! And no, I don't know any jokes.

There's a professor named Dr. Pepper at my school!
My last name has six syllables, so methinks I should start contemplating suitable abbreviations, just to be prepared...

I'll be Dr. Doggett:D

With my maiden name people would have thought I was stuttering when I introduced myself. I would have been Dr. Derr. I have a much better last name now.

My husband's childhood dentist was Dr. Toothaiker. He said he had to be a dentist with that last name :)

Dr. Head.....Anita Head

"I need a head". :D

When I'm dating a guy, I often think about whether his last name would sound okay with a "Dr." in front of it - these are important considerations! :p

YES! Very important! The guy I'm currently dating has an ugly last name... therefore... I don't think I'll be staying with him :p j/k. I think I'd keep my last name.

If I do end up marrying another Dr. though, I think I will def have to keep my last name or at least hyphenate mine because it'll get too confusing. I used to do alumni calling and when I would say "May I speak with Dr. so and so" the person on the other line would say "which one?" and it would be kind of awkward.

I know a Dr. Furr, DVM :)
Me too -- is yours an equine vet? :) I have to say, I never really thought about his name before . . .

I've driven past the office of Sheila Brush, DDS. She's right down the street from the Barber Funeral Home, which made my dad proclaim that he never wanted to go there for a shave.:corny:

Woo, old thread!

I saw a Dr. Slaughter listed on the board at a medical practice... hm.

Also know a Dr. Love, veterinarian... trim her dogs' nails all the time. No, she doesn't do it herself. :d

I just know I'll end up calling my boss's husband by his first name since I can't call them both Dr. _____. I mean... "Dr. _____, it's Dr. _____ on the phone." Lol.

Yup, there's a guy in the agriculture college here named Dr. Slaughter. Sadly, he works on crops, not animal science. :p

There's a professor at Davis VM whose name is Dr. Buckpitt, no joke! And if you see his picture on the website it gets 10x better. I can't imagine going through life with that name, not to mention his first name, Alan, can easily be mangled into Anal. :meanie:

I've also met a Dr. Ferrier.

My Dr. name would be boring, not to mention easily mispronounced, so I'm planning on marrying a man with a neat last name. ;)

My Dr. name wouldn't be anything special with my maiden name, and I do like my boyfriend's name... However... he's starting medical school next year, we're likely going to get married in a couple years. Funny how becoming a vet might encourage me to hyphenate my name just to avoid the confusion you guys brought up, I hadn't even thought about that! :lame:

I love his last name though. It's all ethnic and pretty, and mine is a boring western name. :p

Ethnic, huh?

Yeah, people will come in to see me, and they'll say... wait, I thought you were Hispanic. Or, they won't speak English. I don't speak anything else! Oh dear.

I'm jealous of all the funny last names!

Dr. Katz is my favorite!


My last name IS Kat. :laugh:

Haha... I love ethnic names! My boyfriend's is Arabic though. And I am a very pale, freckly-skinned, blue-eyed, light-haired girl who clearly looks like my Scottish and German roots. I'm sure I'll get a few double takes.

If I take his name I just have to hope I don't get any racist/prejudice douche bags.. rawr!

If this dude decide to try for medical school....

My wife's optometrist's name is Dr. Glass. :laugh:

I was delievered by caesarean section by an ob called Dr Cutter! :D

I don't think there are any vets in this one and everyone's probably already seen it, but since it hasn't been posted yet I feel obligated to share this link (probably NSFW):

For a while I had a dentist named Dr. Will Harm.

There is an equine doc here at OSU named Dr. Pinto. I also had a pediatrician named Dr. Weiner (it was German, so it was pronounced like "whiner," but still)...rather unfortunate for him I would imagine.

Well, at least he wasn't a urologist!

I had an onthodontist named Dr. Hammer, and his partner's name was Dr. Hook.... It was called Hammer & Hook orthodontics.

My father in law also was in residency with a guy named Dr. something Fook Yuen. He later changed his name to something along the lines of Smith...

I have a dermatologist named Dr. Love... that one seems pretty popular!

The OB who delivered me was Dr. Bush. LOL!

My mom knows a nurse with the last name Doctor. :laugh:

OMG i can just imagine... Dr. Doctor "i'm sorry what was your name?" ...doctor... that would be so confusing!!

My gynecologist's name - Dr. Finger. :o

Random, but I think Dr. Pinto used to be at NCSU!

Keep your last name girls!

I haven't seen any really bad last names.
My last name won't be too bad...just hard for some to pronounce and it sometimes reminds people of the Chim Chim Cheree song from Mary Poppins and causes random outbursts of singing.:) Maybe everyone can just call me Dr. T. when that time comes.

If I change my last name to my husband's, I'd be 'Dr. Houser'. Most people have told me to go for it, but I like my last name just fine.

There was someone in my hometown running for an elected position and had signs everywhere. He is a local lawyer still. The name. Phil Yacucci
THINK ABOUT IT. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

There is a guy in my town Dr. Skinner DVM not only is his name creepy but so is he

my last name is ok but if i had married my ex my name would have been Dr. Lamas

When I eventually get my DVM, I will be Dr. Love.
Seriously!

hahahaha i work with llamas and alpacas A LOT so i definitely appreciate this name! :)

So. Jealous.

You even have your own ready-made theme song, how great is that?!

I'm getting married next year, in which I will be Dr. Ibex :)

Maybe I should consider exotics...

First vet I ever worked for was Dr. Butcher. :eek:

(Dr. pronounced it Boo-ker) but the clients always said Butch-cher.

There is a vet in my area named Dr. Kermit. It would be funnier if he were a swine vet, but just cats and dogs

I heard of a vet named Dr. Cokain. The funny part about it was that she adopted an english bulldog and named it Snort.

I love this thread. Way better than studying for organ systems!

My last name isnt interesting, but there is someone in our class who will become Dr. Sunshine (I LOVE IT).

Also, as someone mentioned earlier, our anatomy teacher is Dr. Fails (even though shes AWESOME!)
