What nickname was shared by Patrick Cotter O'Brien and Charles Byrne?
Charles Byrne (giant) Charles Byrne (1761–1783) or "The Irish Giant", was a man regarded as a curiosity or freak in London in the 1780s. Byrne's exact height is of some conjecture. Some accounts refer to him as being 8 ft to 8 ft tall, but skeletal evidence places him at just over 7 ft .
Chay (given name) Chay is a masculine name. It is either a diminutive of Charles, ultimately derived from Germanic "Karal, Karel, Karl", meaning “man”, or it may be Gaelic in origin, meaning “Fairy Tale” . This unusual name surfaced into the public in Britain in the mid-1970s, with the publicity for yachtsman Chay Blyth. It is generally pronounced Sh (as in Shane) ay (as in May) [IPA: ʃeɪ], and sometimes pronounced Ch (as in Charles) ay (as in May) [IPA: tʃeɪ].
