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.

I've just spent 24 hours in A&E and urgent assessment and been looked after by Gifty and Maverick and visited by Tintin the pharmacist. They were all lovely, kind people and I have to say their fantastic names really cheered me up.
