Fitting Names
May 6, 2012 at 8:19 am
I was reading a little about Quantum Field Theory and who the first few pioneering scientists were when a very funny coincidence happened. One of the pioneers of Quantum Field theory was Julian Schwinger and I recognized the word Schwinger as the German word for oscillate and as we all know, that is exactly what Quantum Fields do.

What are some examples of real names that fit with their profession?

We have a known meteorologist here in Finland, Pekka Pouta, and funnily enough, pouta means dry weather Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

In Spanish that would be spelled puta and translates as bitch.
