I met a guy called 'Wonderful' today.

[Weeantwee]

He was from Malawi. A tough name to live with in the UK but he lived up to it He was very proud. Not sure that will inspire any of you but it brought a smile to my face.

Ah. I used to know a man called Comfort Golightly. Always bought a smile to my face - he was huge and rugged, but had such a delicate, ballerinary kind of name.

[BikeRunSki]

Comfort was from Malawi too !

I teach a little girl called Marvellous, and indeed she is!

[DaddyPigsMistress]

I used to work with a guy called Favorite. He has siblings too which always makes me grin. The name suits him, hes a cracking guy.

He makes mike tyson look delicate so if you didnt like his name you wouldnt say it to his face

It is very common in Southern Africa for Africans to have names like the ones mentioned in these posts. Precious, Pretty, Blessing etc. How wonderful to have such a happy name :)

[omuwalamulungi]

I know two Cleversons! Patience, Gift, Prosper, Victory, Happy, Blessing... the list goes on. I know a man called Mercy, it really suits him.

Efficient is among the best names I've heard!
