Here's Verdant Labs' chart showing the six most disproportionately common names in each profession:

 

In a blog post, developer Mark Edmond explained more about the methodology:

 

Take Elvis, for example. There aren't all that many Elvises out there, but a particularly high percentage of them are musicians. As a result, Elvis ranks high among musician names. Elvis isn't the most common name among musicians -- that's likely to be John or some other very popular name. What's interesting is that it's way more common among musicians than you might expect, given how rare it is. In other words, it's common in that profession relative to its overall frequency.

 

Some of the findings won't be too surprising: Police officers, race car drivers, golfers and guitarists are more likely to be men. Social workers, librarians and graphic³ designers tend to be women.

 

Some other interesting tidbits: Football coaches are likely to have one-syllable names such as Rich, Mike or Bill. Songwriters' names harken back to some famous male musicians of the 1960s and 1970s, including Sonny, Mick and Billy. Hebrew names such as Moshe, Meir, and Shlomo are extremely common among rabbis.

 

“So, do our names influence where we go in life? Or do the social, geographic⁴, economic and other factors that might have influenced how our parents named us also direct our career paths?” Edmond wrote in the post. “Our hunch⁵ is that it’s mostly the latter, but bear in mind that the connection is subtle.”
