I have seen people of the surname Taylor who were a tailor by trade. Ironic.

I've seen people called PRATT.

I have a friend called Alan Pratt - not sure how he offended his parents!!!

A senior official with an organization I was associated with was surnamed Pratt, it was arguable whether or not he was appropriately named.

There is a surname called Smellie.

Yes I believe it is Scottish in origin, is the surname Smillie a version of the name Smellie?
