Margaret Finnegan: My name is Margaret Finnegan and I was named after my grandmother, and I've always felt a little bit special to be having given that gift. As for Finnegan, well that is just a great Irish name, and although it doesn't rhyme perfectly with begin again, I like the flow of Finnegan begin again, which comes from an old kid song. Do you know it? (sings) "There was an old man named Michael Finnegan. He grew whiskers on his chin again. He shaved them off, and they grew in again. Poor old Michael Finnegan. Begin again!"
