I have a friend whose surname is Fletcher. I learned recently that's just an arrow maker. That said I've seen in other regions people are named for what time and location they are born and by gender.

Apparently my ancestors raised pigs, yay

Is it Swinyard, Swinerd, Hogg, Hogge, Seward, Sweatman, Schweinhardt, Schweiger, Schweinsteige, Dausch, Purcell, or MacUalraig? Apparently there's a lot of surnames for a pig farmer.

A lot including at least one more. And you know I'm not gonna tell, even if you guess it. But you haven't even used the same first letter yet.

Lol true, I knew a guy named Outlaw and unfortunately he looked exactly how you think he would look. Also a guy named reefer and he also looked exactly how you would think.
