Nominative Determinism
Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine's humorous "Feedback" column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames. These included a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman and an article on urology by researchers named Splatt and Weedon. These and other examples led to light-hearted speculation that some sort of psychological effect was at work.
This is a community for posting real-world examples of names that by coincidence are funny in context. A link to the article or site is preferable, as well as a screenshot of the funny name if it's not in the headline. Try not to repost, and keep it fun!

Did he already have 6 points? 5 points sounds like "we don't want to ban you, but if you do anything else you will be banned".
How many points to a ban in the UK? Is it permanent or for a time period? Like, I only ever hear “ban” from Brits, but do you also suspend?
12 points, when you get that many it's usually referred to as "totting up", then you get a ban of at least 6 months (more if you've been banned in the last 3 years).
A regular speeding conviction is 3 points. However if you exceed 100mph in a 70mph motorway, or 30mph over other speed limits, then you may get an instant ban of up to 3 months or 4-6 points.
Points are valid on your license for 3 years, but stay on and must be disclosed to insurers for 4 years. Although, points for more serious offenses may last for longer. Some offenses lead to an instant ban, eg drink driving, and drink driving will stay on your licence for 10 years.
