Tanners - really? Anyone who named their son (or of course daughter) Tanner didn't grow up where I did - down-wind from a tannery! The stench only reached us once or twice a month, depending on the wind, but that was enough.

I feel like a lot of the occupation names are really indicative of class. Because yeah - only people who have never experienced the reality of a tannery would choose Tanner! That's why most of them seem so yuppie or wannbe-yuppie to me.
