This isn't a doctor's name, but my friend's uncle is named Noel Cadeau (No-el Kaa-doh). In French, Noel is Christmas and Cadeau is gift. His name means Christmas Gift.

I've worked with a Dr. Heine (he pronounces it 'heiney') and a Dr. Butts. Fortunately, neither of them were Proctologists!

I've also known a Dentist named Dr. Slaughter and another one named Dr. Smiley. I'd go to the second one but no chance for the first! :D

It makes one wonder if they chose their professions based on their names?

There were 2 dentists in my hometown in Ill where I grew up. They were on the same block but had separate offices. Their names were Dr. Curt Gronner (pronounced groaner) and Dr. Fillmore Ketola. In Kansas Dr. Marvel did hip replacement surgery. And our vet in Indiana was Dr. Bird. I've always wondered if their names were the suggestion for their professions.
