For 42 years I've been blessed with the surname of Bullock. I don't know why, but the Significant Spender also agreed to take on this as her married name.

Even she now admits that if 'anyone else' puts an unwarranted 'O' in there, she'll  point:

Akchewly the history of surnames in an interesting field of study.

Some are derived from an ancestor's profession or job and others come from places where their ancestors lived. My own is said to have been given, originally, to those born within a parish where the local church was dedicated to a Priest who was Barbecued by the Romans.

Legend has it that Saint Lawrence (or Lorens) was a very holy man who was ordered to bring out his parish treasures and hand them to the Romans. He called together the poor of his parish and told the Romans "These are the treasures of my church" and they put him on a gridiron to roast as punishment.
Variants on this tale can be found, if you care to look, all over the internet.

On the subject of one's name being p*ssed about with ... people often have trouble with spelling mine (you should see what the Welsh do with it!) and I have always, when asked, replied "As in Arabia".
One smart arse addressed me as Mr O'Toole for years. evil:

Noun 1. scut work - trivial, unrewarding, tedious, dirty, and disagreeable chores; "the hospital hired him to do scut work"
shitwork
chore, job, task - a specific piece of work required to be done as a duty or for a specific fee; "estimates of the city's loss on that job ranged as high as a million dollars"; "the job of repairing the engine took several hours"; "the endless task of classifying the samples"; "the farmer's morning chores"
