Yes!
I was thinking of someone else for candlestick maker but your answer is better.
I was thinking of Devorah Eishes lapidos.
But really she was a candle maker , not a candlestick maker.
Potifar was also Pharaoh's chief butcher - that's what I was thinking of
One was said already: Ner from Avner ben Ner
Rachav? (Rechev?)
Chur?
EtA: wait, I got it. Tzur. Kozbi bas Tzur.
Tzur is a rock.
Is that it??
No, maybe I phrased this wrong.
Someone gave names to two inanimate objects. Similar to when Yaakov and Lavan made a bris, and they named the pile of rocks Yegar Sehadusa/Gal-eid. These objects were given names that also were used by people, though.
It's in Navi.

A tinker, a tailor
A soldier, A sailor
A rich man, a poor man
A beggar man, a thief
A doctor, a lawyer
A merchant, a chief
Can you connect these to people in Torah? You can be very creative.
Tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, merchant and thief can all connect to Bereishis. (I have 2 for tailor)
A doctor, a lawyer, a chief- from Shemos
(I couldn't think of anything for Tinker and beggar man.)

Tinker- yosef was sold to a caravan of what could be considered tinkers
Tailor- someone sewed the ksones pasim, yosef's coat ripped and had to be sewed when he ran from eshes potifar
Soldier- gad in birchas Yaakov
Sailor- zevulun in birchas Yaakov
Rich man- avraham avinu
Poor man- shevatim had to go to mitzrayim to get food during the famine because they were poor
Beggar man- same, they went begging for food
Thief- yosef accused binyamin of stealing the cup

Cute!
I thought of the same for rich man, and sailor. Also, kesones pasim- I assume Yaakov was the tailor.
I got different answers for the rest!
For tailor, I thought of Adam. He sewed clothes for himself and chava after he realized he was unclothed.
For soldier- the 400 soldiers that Eisav came with to fight Yaakov. Alternatively, in the war with the 4 and 5 kings, there were soldiers.
A poor man- I thought of Yaakov who had all of his possessions stolen from him when he was running from Eisav. (Ani chashuv k'meis.)
Beggar man- same
Thief- yishmael. It says about him that his hand will be in everything. Also, Elifaz stole Yaakovs clothes. Yaakov "stole" the brachos. Rochel stole her father's terafim.

Ideas from Tanach. Got a little creative here…
A tinker- cheit ha’eigel (fashioned out of metal)
A tailor- Adam and Chava had to fashion clothes for themselves
A soldier- Eisav’s army of 400 men
A sailor- Sefer yonah (can’t think of one from the Torah)
A rich man- yosef
A poor man- shevatim
A beggerman- Lot’s wife went to borrow salt from her neighbors
A thief- binyomin
A doctor- Shifra and puah, midwives
A lawyer- Aron settled disagreements. I think that makes him a lawyer
A merchant- the caravan that took Yosef
A chief- Efron
ETA: didn’t see bchadash post on top of mine before I posted

These are great! We were mechavein to each others answers in most of them!
These are the ones I thought of from Shemos:
Doctor- Tzipora (performed surgery on her son)
Lawyer- Moshe after the chet Haegel- was arguing on Klal Yisroel 's behalf.
Merchant- Yehuda's first wife's father was a merchant. I don't remember his name offhand but pretty sure the Torah mentions that he was a merchant.
Chief- yisro was the chief of midyan (I think I remember Artscroll translated Kohen as chief in this case)
