Thanks!

I wanted to check on Living at the Edge of the World: How I Survived in the Tunnels of Grand Central Station by Jamie Pastor Bolnick? It seems she has two surnames, and I would like to use Pastor.

Thanks

Sorry, Pastor appears to be a middle name, not a surname.

Foreman definition: A person in charge of a group of workers, or a particular operation, or a section of a plant.

A foreman is just fine, and Forman is close enough to work!

Don't think this works - the definitions I've found call it a "title of honor" - so a baron isn't a job, just a title.

Will Webster work?

Found this on Surnamedb:

This interesting name, of Anglo-Saxon origin, is found chiefly in Yorkshire, Lancashire and the Midlands, and is a variant of the occupational name Webb, which was originally given to a weaver.
