Rich Nephew

The Department of State's new Coordinator on Global Anti-Corruption is Rich Nephew. Not from the Bee. 

From the comments on the tweet I got this from, that is known as an aptonym, such as a colonial dentist named Dr. Toothaker up here.

Rich Nephew? What kind of a name is that?

Our local ortho-neuro group has three doctors named Legg, Walker, and Frame. Well, I guess Frame is kinda stretching it, but I think it's pretty funny.

I am just glad my last name is not Dempster.
