Top Ten Inexplicable Names Rich People Give Their Sons Which Are Jobs They’d Never Allow Them to Do for a Living
Posted by Alan Edwards
In order of pretension:
1. Tanner (leather maker)
1. Chandler (candle-maker)
1. Baxter (Baker)
1. Fletcher (arrow maker)
1. Brewster (Brewer, often a female brewer)
1. Carter (one who moves things from place to place, in a cart or as if they are a cart)
1. Hunter (self-explanatory)
1. Cooper (barrel maker)
1. Harper (one who plays a harp)
1. Mason (stoneworker)
And the most horrible name no one should give their son but would probably expect him to do for a living:
Wexler (money-lender)
Don’t name your children like this.
