Cook, Taylor, Baxter and Baker, Smith, all occupational surnames.
If surnames were just becoming a thing now, meaning say the last 30ish years, what would job related surnames look like?
Bob Utube? Samantha Flier? Mr. And Mrs. Tech?
Tell me your picks for surnames based on occupations more common today that may not have been even concieved of in decades past.
There are a lot more specialty nail shoppes now than 30 years ago, so how about “Naylor”?*
(BTW, you forgot “Cooper.”)
*(Actual name; a lady friend of mine married into it 20-some years ago.)
Ry Coder
Ima Dogwalker
Beck Doper.
Hmmm?
I kinda like it.
ISWYDT! You drop an “o,” he stops being a musician.

I’ve heard of a region in India where surnames are only just now coming into use, and which now has a Mr. Javacoder.
How about the more mundane:
Vandriver
Hashslinger
Pilot
Conductor
Marketeer
Coder
Fireman
Loads of them… 
Uber.
The islands of Micronesia didn’t use last names until the concept was introduced by Westerners. A lot of folks from the island of Kosrae decided just to repeat their first names. There was once a photo in the government newsletter with the caption, “From left to right: Louey Louey, Asher Asher, and Jack J. Jack.” (We were afraid to ask what the J stood for.)
Louey Louey was my neighbor and so I had a few stories in which he featured. (The subduing of the coconut crab being one). After a few years living in Micronesia the repeated names sounded totally normal to me. It was only when people started giving me weird looks because I was talking matter-of-factly about Louey Louey that I remembered how strange that was.
ETA: The above is tangential, sorry. Modern occupational last names might include Programmer, Therapist, Controller, or Ciyeeo (CEO).
Maybe they thought you were referring to the song.
Zoomwright
Emailor
Influenzor
Bob Dole - full-time welfare check casher
That’s a old one. Now it would be ‘Robert EBT’
Yep, I’m sure they did.
Pilot
Airman
Starman
Bob Astronaut
Ivan Cosmonaut
Taikonaut Kai-shek
Carman (for a family of auto mechanics)
Would you get sued if you wanted to use Nascar as a surname?
Assembler (for a factory worker)
English classifies “bowyer” and “fletcher” as separate professions, and there are families named Bowman and Fletcher. Perhaps the construction industry would spawn families named Bulldozer, Steamroller, Dumptruck, and Backhoe.
Would Mr. Barrister approve of his daughter dating the Solicitor boy?
Would the Deeyei family and the Peedee family approve of their children dating?
