What’s In A Name?

Mr. Brown was actually white, Mr. Strong couldn’t really fight. Mr. Goldsmith collected cans, Mr. Walker owned two vans. Mr. Doolittle did a lot, Mr. Swift was eventually caught. Mr. Shipman dreaded the coast, Mr. Baker burnt the toast.
Mr. Rose by any other name could be a stinky rose. There is nothing in a name, I suppose.
