Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

New Scientist (UK weekly which occupies roughly the ecological niche filled by Scientific American here) coined the term 'nominative determinism' for this phenomenon back in the 1980s and people keep coming up with new examples. Apparently what started it all was a paper on incontinence in the British Journal of Urology by A. J. Splatt and D. Weedon.
My favorite example was always a Swedish motorcycle racer (a good one) called Bernt Persson. Thankfully he never lived up (down??) to his name and retired unscathed.
