Jamaican Pet/Nick names

I made a post a couple of days ago about Jamaican names and someone said that I should should list the pet names of Jamaicans and those would sound more like Jamaican names rather than their regular names.

What are your thoughts? 

If you are reading this from another country other than Jamaica please share if any of these names are used in your country.

Do I need to also put the history behind each name?

Some of these are derived based on something that the person did, or physical features that they possess.

Jamaican Baby names

 My friend was looking for a baby name that speaks Jamaican and at the time I could not think of one. Some time later I thought of the name "Errol." Is this a true Jamaican name?

What are your thoughts?

Can you think of another name that says that you are from the island?

Someone read the blog and said I should include these names as well.  I'm not sure they all qualify as Jamaican names, do you agree?

1. Gavin

2. Kevin

3.

Some said that the pet names are more Jamaican than they regular names, and I should list those . New post created.

How one Jamaican treats his toe fungus

 The truth is. This is a difficult one.

I guess I am required to say that this is not medical advise as a disclaimer. This is just what I did to treat my toe fungus.

Once the fugus was contracted my body immediately put up a fight and tried to discard the toe nail.

Eventually it did fall off. This was a good thing. I needed the nail to fall off so that I could have direct access to the nail bed. I applied a liberal supply of antifungal treatment daily directly to the nail bed. 

Mine went away for a while, but then it came back.

My cousin also had nail fungus and he did nothing until the nail grew back.

He went to the doctor and they prescribed something for him that was to be taken orally for the toe fungus.

The doctors warned that the treatment was harsh on the liver and could cause serious damage. So they did a test before prescribing him the medicine.

He took the medicine for about 6 months and the toe fungus did go away, but it came back.

It was then that he decided to go the natural way and soak his foot in apple cider vinegar and Epsom salt. The fungus growth slowed for a while but then came back with a vengeance. Not sure why.

It was then that he and I and concluded that our toe nail would probably be affected with fungus for life or until we decided to seek medical treatment again.

Hope this was helpful.

If you know of any other methods used that work, please jot them below.

Jamaican Transportation.

 No doubt Jamaican transportation has evolved significantly since it was first instituted.. The farthest my mind goes is back to JOS buses, but the name has changed several times since then.

What are the names that you remember. Name a few of the buses that were popular in your times as well. Like the Encava or quarter million.
