My favorite current example of this comes from Nashville: The Tennessee Titans' head coach is Brian Callahan and Nashville SC's head coach is Brian "BJ" Callaghan
What a random and interesting piece. I must admit I’ve never heard of nominative determinism before but enjoyed reading about it. You must have seen Herb Caen’s column with the top names? My favorite: a substitute teacher named Mr Fillin
Or the Canucks who this season had two Elias Pettersons playing in the same game, which is, as this post notes, the second time in NHL history where two people with the same name have played in the same game on the same team. AND the first time it happened was also for the Canucks. https://www.instagram.com/p/DFRmw-LxCST/?hl=en
