This could be a tough exercise, but it should be fun.

Give a character a full name (first & last) where the last name is a verb. Then write a short story about that character where (s)he fulfills that last name, but not in the way one would think.

For example:
Character: Paul Mangles
Storyline: He sees his ex-wife with her new lover in the grocery store. He does not, however, pull an (alleged & acquitted) O.J. Simpson on them. Instead, he looks back over how he mangled their relationship…or for a more horror-filled example, he mangles himself in an elaborate suicide disguised to look like the wife & lover killed him.
