<p>I briefly went to a podiatrist named Foote. But check out this article from the Canadian Medical Association Journal: <a href=“http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/165/12/1579-a[/url]”>http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/165/12/1579-a&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Where I live, I frequently drive past billboards advertising a funeral home. The name? Swindler.</p>

<p>Wow this thread has gone on for a while.</p>

<p>I’ve kept the name I was born with. My kids’ elementary school couldn’t seem to deal with this, so I’d answer to Mrs. [husband’s last name] too. More often I was known as [First son’s name]'s mom. My children have my husband’s last name. This can be confusing too - one summer all of their camp clothes were labeled with my last name by the camp supply company.</p>

<p>And to add to the thread immediately above - the Irish attorney my firm engaged for advice on a transaction last year was Miss Lawless.</p>
