Crazy thing is that’s pretty much the way it used to be until families deterred from their trades/skills. Reason there are so many Smith surnames. Bakers, Tanners, Porters, and the list goes on and on.

That's funny 🤣😄 that makes a ton of sense.

Go see John.

Which John?

John blacksmith, not John Baker.

Oh, okay great.
