This is a bit off the original post, but I was reminded of Stephen Hawking's reference in "A Short History of Time" to a paper on the origins of the universe by the physicist George Gamow and his student, Ralph Alpher. Gamow persuaded Hans Bethe, the nuclear physicist to add his name to the paper so the list of authors would read "Alpher, Bethe, Gamow".
I leave it as an exercise for the reader to produce interesting combinations of psychologists.

My wife found out that there was someone with exactly the same name as hers in town who was a bad person (fraud and missed rent payments) that led to our being delivered with summons for a couple of years. So, even though we had a recent thread of names that matched with research interests, I'm disinclined to believe that the names led them into a research collaboration. Weird coincidence that should have been avoided by one of them choosing to be known as junior or esquire.
