    That doesn’t really make it any less crazy.

    Imagine working at a smithy called Smiths run by Joe Smith, who is a Smith. That’s at least as wild.
    It’s so on the nose that if you read it in a book you’d roll your eyes and call it lazy writing

      That’s actually the origin of several last names like Smith. Carpenter, Miller, Cooper, waller, Fisher, Chandler, Carter, black, and barker are believed to have originated from professions.

        I’m aware, that’s pretty common knowledge.

        I’ma write a book about someone who works for a tailor named Taylor Tailor at their tailor shop called Tailor’s Tailoring which is run out of a trailer. It’ll be tailor Taylor Tailer’s Tailor’s Tailoring tailoring trailer. It will be a very serious book, because none of this is in the least but funny.

          Please actually do. Somehow I feel like it would be a delight to read. I guess I just like dry humor
