An image of a hobo

Every homeless, muttering, and slightly creepy denizen of Hobopolis has his own moniker, a name as irrational and bizarre as the hobo himself. To the amateur hobo-spotter, these names can seem to follow no rhyme nor reason; however, years of research and in-depth examination of hobokind have uncovered the closely-guarded secret method of hobo naming. Behold, the method hobo names are determined by. By which they are determined.

Pattern

Hobo names follow this pattern:

[Title] [First Name] ["Nickname"] [Last Name], [Occupation]

Every hobo has a first name, as well as a last name and/or an occupation. Some hobos have both last names and occupations, as well as titles. Hobos with last names occasionally also have a special nickname.

Observed Names

The following names have been found on hobos in the wild.
