There's a professor in the English department here called William Blake! Isn't that awesome? I wonder if his name influenced his career choice, or if his parents were just literary nuts who forced it upon him from his birth.

I also know a couple grad students with the last name Hu. So when they finish, they'll be Dr. Hu! :clap:

I'm sure every school has some funny coincidences like that. Do you know of any.

I have a friend who had a history professor with the last name Stoner. A friend from church has a professor with the last name Pintas (not sure how it's spelled) that rhymes with Pinches and apparently he's not a very nice guy, lol.

I don't think I've had any weird ones..

My psych prof. is named A. Ho. Say that one five times fast.
My history prof. has a last name that translates to 'No Church' or 'New Church' depending on how you translate it to English.
I have another prof. whose last name is Doell, pronounced Dole, like the pineapple (which he points out himself)
