Now you have to admit that Zennor is the coolest place name in all of the United Kingdom. One can imagine all sorts of epic fantasy occurring in a place like that!

Also, I noticed that some folklorists who have recorded the story say that the famous mermaid's name is Morveren, but that's just the word in the Celtic Cornish language for mermaid (mor=sea/veren=girl or maiden).
It would make very cool name for a merling, though, either that or or the Welsh name for mermaid (Morwyn).
