names that do things

When I first started working at the local hospital, someone gave me a phone number and asked me to give Elizabeth Ward a call. I rang the number and asked to speak to Elizabeth Ward.

"Yes, this is Elizabeth Ward, Staff Nurse Thompson"
"No, I'm not Staff Nurse Thompson, but I do need to speak to Elizabeth Ward"

Took me a few seconds to work things out.

Then about six months later, I noticed Ursula Ward in the hospital phone directory. I spent half an hour walking around the hospital looking for that unit, before someone explained it was one of the Directors.

I'm telling you this because I trust you.
