Want to hear some really odd names? These are actual first names of real people. Button Bushrod Throughmuchtribulationweenterthekingdomofheaven Button Gwinnet was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence (Georgia delegation) Bushrod Washington was appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1799 Throughmuchtribulationweenterthekingdomofheaven was a puritan girl who was called "Tribby" for short. From another forum, here's a cut-n-paste list of other fun puritan names (and people think our screen names are strange!): Be-courteous Be-faithful Be-thankful Faint-not Faith-my-joy Fear-not Fear-the-Lord Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith Fly-debate Fly-fornication Freegift From-above God-reward Hate-evil Help-on-High Hope-for Hope-still If-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned* (Surname was Barebones. He was a doctor and known as "Dr. Damned Barebones"!) Jesus-Christ-came-into-the-world-to-save Job-raked-out-of-the-ashes Joy-again Kill-sin Learn-wisdom Love-well Make-peace More-fruit (was she hungry or what?) More-trial Much-mercy No-merit Praise-God Safe-deliverance Safe-on-high Search-the-scriptures Seek-wisdom Sin-deny Small-hope Sorry-for-sin (Is this a confession about how the child was conceived?) Stand-fast-on-high The-Lord-is-near The-peace-of-God Weep-not What-God-will Zeal-for-the-Lord (I think that was more a statement about the parents than anything else.) Zeal-of-the-land
I'm partial to Job-raked-out-of-the-ashes or Fly-fornication, myself. "Happy Birthday, If-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned!" Imagine trying to fit <i>that</i> onto a birthday cake. AmishRakeFight
