Freakonomics Blog is having an impromptu contest to find the best real-life aptonym: a personal name that accurately describes the bearer or their profession. The example Dubner gives is a magazine fact-checker named “Paige Worthy.”
It took me about 10 minutes before I realized that I myself am a contender since I like to hike in the mountains.
Sigh

Hmmmm – Mountainhiker – a true pinacle of humour.
Any plans to become a mountain hiking priest, Mr. Walker? (“Man of the cloth” for those who find the reference too obscure)
