Professor Alistair Finch Professor Bartholomew Higgins Professor Charles Davenport Professor Edward McMillan Professor Frederick Langley Professor George Washington (if you want a more overtly patriotic name) Professor Henry Jameson Professor Ian McGregor Professor John Smith (a classic, but can be made more interesting with a middle name) Professor Kenneth Anderson Professor Leonard Bloom Professor Malcolm Davies Professor Nigel Blackwood Professor Oliver Reed Professor Peter Jones Professor Quentin Morris Professor Richard Burton Professor Samuel Johnson Professor Thomas Jefferson (again, overtly patriotic) Professor Victor Frankenstein (a bit dramatic, but memorable) Professor William Shakespeare (another classic, potentially too obvious) Professor Xavier Rhodes Professor Yosef Ben-David Professor Zachary Taylor

These names aim for a balance between sounding academic and believable. Remember that you can combine elements from different names to create something even more unique. For example, you could combine "Alistair" and "Davies" to get "Alistair Davies."
