Talk about a tragedy

Growing up and living with the name Danny Cockburn. I went to the grocery store and saw a work van for Danny Cockburn Electric. Gees. I bet that was awful growing up. I interviewed a guy for a story the other day named Woody Dick and wondered how much his parents must have hated him when he was born. But, think about the origins of these names. In the old days, many names were derived from a person's profession: Johnny Shoemaker, Johnny Miller, you get the idea. How did these poor souls come up with dick and cockburn for family names? I also worked with a guy named Dick Hardin. I swear to God, I'm not making it up.
