I'm looking for an expression (preferably a single word) that denotes someone whose name or title fits them ironically too well. Names and nicknames are usually figurative, but I'm looking for idioms that I can use to make some word play in situations where they could be taken literally.
A few examples of what I want:
John the Headhunter took the meaning of person who does justice to their name too far. Literal murder is not part of his job description.
Mary "Smoking Hot" Smith, ironically doing justice to her name, did not manage to leave the building in time and was swallowed by the flames.
Joe "Please Don't Call Me Joe 'Joe Miller' Miller" Miller, as expected of a someone with that nickname, quit the interview after feeling improperly addressed.
This is actually a real person.

"Aptly monikered" / "Aptly monickered"
From Collins:
Your examples could scan as follows:
The aptly monickered John the Headhunter...
The aptly monickered Mary "Smoking Hot" Smith...
etc.
