JamesDoyle has a boss named Damian

To anyone who is either a subordinate and/or smaller than he is, Thomas Umbricht is this full stop. He pulled a knife on this troper when he was 11 years old.

I had a gym teacher by the name of Mr. Paine. The irony was lost on nobody.

That isn't ironic though, just hilarious. ;)

Maybe coincidental would be the better word.

This troper's English teacher had the last name of Covert, which she was anything but.

This troper's father always joked that if she were a boy, she would have been named Wolfgang, Wolf for short. In reality, I would have been named Thomas, but Wolfgang combined with my very German last name would have been epic.

ThisTroper intentionally studied the trope page to choose a name for one of his major villains, a borderline CompleteMonster and EvilMentor for the RivalTurnedEvil, and combined with a name from another page, came up with Yue Lepretto.

EpicFail, that just sounds silly.

This troper had a math teacher called Ms. DeWolfe. Common tactics included public humiliation, punishment assignments, and bringing other people who agreed with her into arguments. She also has a good relationship with favorite students and adults, meaning...

This troper's old college secondary school had the army in for a team building day the year before you got to choose between sports leadership, community service and the cadet force. The physical training instructor from the group sent to put us through our paces was nicknamed 'God'. It got worse in the actual CCF exertion wise, but there was another instructor, this time for makeshift shelter building on the survival course. His name was Joana and his catchphrase was "We're in the jungle, I've got a knife, any going to argue?". He was made of awesome.

This professor once had a teacher named Dr. Rathburn. He was challenging, but otherwise pretty likeable.

This troper was at a food hall and noted that any kind of chili product with 'Inferno' in the title was something to get the hell away from quickly. (This troper hates hot things and can't stand chili.)

This troper knows a guy whose last name is Slaughter. I always joke that he should start a death metal band.

I once had a gym teacher whose last name was Harman. He was a nice guy, but every time I heard his name, it made me think "Harm-Man".

This Troper (SteveElOtaku) had an appointment with an geneticist named Dr. Fishman, who acted disappointed that I was completely normal, and had no mutations or deformations. To clarify, she herself seemed to have a bit of the Innsmouth look creeping in...

This troper's last name is often mispronounced as a part of the human anatomy. Ironically enough, his last name is the same as a famous figure's, although said historical figure changed his last name before he took that fateful trip that would change the course of history. That simple fact makes him feel even more confused about his last name.....

So what is it?

I'm guessing that it's Colón.

This lurker's father had a doctor when he was young called Dr. Blood. Doesn't that sound like a cheap-o horror flick right there?

Subverted hilariously- This troper and her friend have a long-running roleplay going. One of her friend's characters is named Blade. Anyone that knows troper's friend would automatically assume that this guy would be really badass. Yet, in a world of supers... Blade... has no power. He's not {{Badass Normal}} either.

This troper's surname is Maskill - pronounced mass-kill. When he was being interviewed with his death metal band by a college newspaper, they asked how I came up with the alias.

This troper used to have a gym teacher named Payne. He was also a {{Drill Sergeant Nasty}} who had some problems hanging up the chevrons.

My mom's last name is Pane, pronounced like Pain. She, both of her brothers, and her dad are/were all doctors. One brother and her dad are/were dentists. And my mom is a Pediatrician (doctor who works with kids, just in case anyone doesn't know the term).

This Troper's Introduction to Criminal Justice class was taught by a bald man with a goatee who used to be US Army special forces and responds to the questions "Have you ever shot anyone" and "Have you ever killed anyone" with the phrase, "Not in this country." His last name was Fears.

This troper´s art class once made comics and her group was not sure how to name the villain. In the end, we just called him "THE EVIL".

In this tropette's school, you should run away if you hear the names Pankonin(a sub who subs all too often), Eppert(pedophile gym teacher), or Dirks(vice principal of death). Run even faster if used in the same sentence.

My father's dark past among the thugs of North London, which he has only recently been willing to talk about, is ''filled'' with names like this: Harry the Hatchet, Tommy the Turk, and Skull come to mind most immediately.

Subverted hilariously with the creative writing teacher at my school. Her surname is Grimm, and she is situated directly next to another teacher by the name of Savage. I haven't had a class with Mrs. Savage, but Grimmy is one of the best teachers in school.

This Troper's high school Calculus teacher's name was Mr. Hurt. It fit. Oh dear ''god'' did it fit...

This troper's EmbarrassingMiddleName is Bennett - so you're thinking CampGay or FrenchJerk, hm? It's a vernacular of the Latin name Benedict, which is a rather ominous name if you know your American history - in that case you know who's being talked about. Still only a subversion than a straight example. An ex-girlfriend called herself Belinda (don't ask) and felt that name was hers - well, that name is a Italian-German composite (like Italy under the Holy Roman Empire) meaning ''beautiful serpent'' - describes her personality and tendencies perfectly.

While looking at Atlus's website for {{Catherine}} I had to do a double take when I found out what Katherine's surname was in the game. I knew a girl back in middle school who had the same identical first and surname (her first name had a different spelling but it did start with K) and she was not exactly the nicest kid I knew. Knowing what little I know of Katherine's personality/characterization in Catherine from trailers... D:

My dad had a teacher in middle school named Mr. Hammerhand. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

When this troper was in high school, his school district's superintendent was named Dr. L. E. Scarr. Not that there was anything particularly evil about him (I guess that would depend on just how much trouble you managed to get yourself into though,) but regardless, I'm pretty sure if I ever get around to writing a book I'm going to have to borrow the name for the BigBad.

This troper's grandfather had to leave London as he frequently boxed for the Kray Twins. To reinforce the time frame, he was in the Blind Beggar when they shot George Cornell. When two people walk into a crowded pub with shotguns and open up someone's head all over the floor then you realise exactly why they were names to run from.
