Helms is a pretty cool last name, I don't know what you're complaining about.

My orthopedic surgeon is named Dr. Butcher

The doctor who did my 3 surgeries in 2003 and nearly killed me with the last one was named Dr. Krook. Can't find any info on him because he stopped working at that hospital about 6 months after my last surgery.

Ahh, found him. He moved down to Fridley, MN http://www.mercy-unity.com/ahs/mercyunity.nsf/page/bariatric_center

Because my name is Sean Kelley.
At least your name has a ring to it. My name is slightly cumbersome, very commonplace, and has no ring to it at all. My friends rarely even use my first name, because they know too many people with the same first name. My non-EC online name came into being because my real name is so common. Remember that "how common is your name" test? My first name was in the top 20, and my last name was around #1000. My last name doesn't roll off the tongue at all, and people who read it off written forms mispronounce it, despite the fact that everyone over the age of five knows how it's pronounced. So don't complain about being Sean Kelley. It could be worse. At least if you get a job where people have to say your name, they'll get it right the first time.

Let's see, what profession might someone nicknamed "EZ" possibly be in...

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

I entirely disagree.

Officer Kelley is a damn fine Irish cop name. I've done stints at several different police stations while doing contract PC Tech work and I've MET four Officer Kelley's. They're all very big and imposing I only remember the first names of two of them, though. Patrick and Brian. Good guys, but none of them had that cool Irish brogue accent, though. Still, remember you don't HAVE to go by Sean if ya don't want to. Sergeant Michael Kelley has a ring to it. Detective Sean Kelley. Shrug. I think it works really well, too.

Hell, there's even an Officer Kelley on that new "Justice is Blind" show that makes me think it's a rip-off of Daredevil/Matt Murdock, but that's besides the point.

If it's any consolation, I was seriously considering the same thing when the IT market was failing. Was looking into Houston PD and Texas State Troopers. Thought I might rather like that... but I kinda had the same thoughts. I mean, Officer Hayduke? O_o

Carl Emmanuel Cohen. By itself it's not so bad, but like most people I know with palindrome initials, I get "heeeeeeey, that's CEC/CC" at least once every time I inform someone of this.

More annoying, however, is that damn near everyone who hears my name before seeing me (and even after, in particularly bothersome cases) looks at the nondescript first name and the ever-damning Cohen, and logically assumes that I am Jewish. This has come up in more circumstances and arguments than I would like to admit, my personal favorite being when, after a thrashing in a class debate, one particularly unhappy young man yelled "YOUR OPINION IS THAT OF AN UNEDUCATED JEW." Bonus points if I happen to have long hair (which does, in fact, curl itself into spirals) and a beard at the time. Aside from that, I'm fairly happy with it.

On the other hand, after years of thought, the best my transsexual friend could come up with for his newly-coined male name was Caleb Xavier, despite the horrors that I've assured him are awaiting.
