A Goodreads user asked John Ironmonger:

Where does the name Ironmonger originate?

John Ironmonger I can only assume that my ancestors sold iron. I've never gotten around to tracing the family tree. I believe it was a traditional English name - and I know there are 'Iremongers' around too, whose ancestors presumably sold ire. Maybe some genealogists out there can help with this one...?

Have you read Station Eleven? The flu pandemic in Not Forgetting the Whale seems similar to the virus which creates the scenario in Station Eleven. I really enjoyed both books.
