Unfortunate last names; sex mention
Apparently the last name "Cumming" is a real, serious name - I just saw a post about a celebrity who has it (who does not seem to be a sex worker).
I wonder how that even happened. Like how a Mr. Smith probably had a blacksmith ancestor, a Mx. Potter probably had an ancestor who did pottery, etc.

@xieliansbignaturals it predates the modern sense of the word cum, which when spelled with the U has only been around since the 1970’s or thereabouts
anyway according to wiktionary it seems to be one of the “from place” names, specifically referencing Commin near Rouen or Comines near Lille
