I went to a dental surgeon whose name was Dr. Cocaine, though it was spelled slightly differently.

Well a woman must "hook" or entice the man who would then pay to have sex with her, therefore the man was "hooked" on the woman's sexual favors.

Aptronym is one of those names or words that you notice them for being funny for more than one reason such as: Anna Smashnova, anna plays tennis so she "smashes" the ball on serve and volley. OR Usain Bolt is as fast as a bolt of lightning in the 100M and 200M sprints. It's an intelligent and funny assimilation of a play on words.
I get the credit!

number 1. aptronym means a name based on personality, i think. so joe hooker had the girls called hookers.

of course, fighting joe hooker the general is a true story and the origin of the word, although i never heard the story told by a beautiful international woman.
