Names of the nicest people you have ever met!

So I am a bit bored waiting now, 40+1 and you are helping me with name ideas on another thread. However, just for fun, what are the names of the nicest people you know/knew?

Mine that spring to mind are:
Mary (looked after me as a child and was so, so kind)
Fabiola (an old friend who has a kind soul)
David (my lovely husband, also a kind person)

I am wondering if any themes arise as to nice/kind names!

Jo and Sarah - teachers who went above and beyond anything I could ever have hoped for to get ds, with ASD, suitable provision when he was in school.

Jenny - my aunty, the kindest, gentlest soul I have ever known.

Another Jenny - a friend at school, she was one of those who had everything, beautiful and popular but with a lovely kind nature, often rare in people who have everything going for them.

Rose - a matron at my boarding school who tried to help me when I confided in her about my home life.

My SIL but I can't say their names because it would out me, I know they come on here sometimes Smile.

Bernadette - my wonderful big sister.

The one person I know that always says "Yes" when I say "Can you do me favour". Everyone else says "What is it"

Audrey. My mum's best friend and my most beloved 'Auntie' as a child.
Elspeth and Nicola - two of my lovely friends.
Carol - one of my dad's carers, who has the most gentle soul I have ever encountered. Just a lovely, lovely lady.
Louis - my DH.
Lauren - my amazing god-daughter, a one-person antidote to every 'young people today...' gripe you could ever come up with.
