Nominative determinism is when someone's name is apt for what they do or experience in life.

From this story https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63601213, the boss of a collapsed US crypto currency exchange has the surname... Bankman-Fried!

My mum's coal deliveryman was named Mr. BURNham. Does that count?

Also: My husband's woodwork teacher was named Mr. Whittle.
