Clark vs. Clerk in British pronounciation

[Bun Mui]

How do British people distinguish between the word-
Clark vs. Clerk in British pronounciation?

Clark Kent vs. clerk Kent in British pronounciation,
sounds the same to me.

Comments?

They don't as not all Clarks are clerks.

All Clarks are clerks.
Clark Kent is a Clark.
Therefore, Clark Kent is a clerk.

You are right, this would seem quite faulty somewhere, as Clark, I
believe, is a reporter at the daily Planet.
