Scott cited the Casler reference, which is a fairly serious attempt to look at
this matter.
I have personally collected many examples over the years, but nothing beats
these two sources:
Train, J. (1977, 1979)/. Remarkable names of real people and Even more
remarkable names of real people. New York: Clarkson N. Potter.

I believe (?) this reference has been mentioned on TIPS before, but see the
following article for some funny examples of name-occupation matches (but
perhaps also an inadvertent warning against the danger of "anecdata"):
Casler, L. (1975). Put the blame on name. Psychological Reports, 36, 467-472.

Subject: [tips] What's in a name?
Is it possible that, in a few cases at least, one's name influences
one's career choice? (This could loosely be said to be a psychological
question. :-) ) I'm led to this rather frivolous suggestion by the
names of two of the leading judges of England and Wales:
Igor Judge is the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.
John Laws is a Lord Justice of Appeal.
