Fionnuala is such a common name in Ireland but you have to watch Derry Girls the chip shop episode to truly appreciate the name.

I teach some kids from a Zimbabwean family, there's a boy named Godknows, a girl named Lovemore, and a girl named Forgiveness. Apparently that's a very common thing for Zimbabwean parents.
