I've just copied this from useless_facts - original here.

There is a period in English history, from 1603 to 1714, known as the Stuart times. Puritans during those times named there children after virtues. Some you've heard of, like "Prudence" or "Charity". Others include:

Silence
Helpless
Forsaken
Misericordia
Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith
Sorry-for-sin
Posthuma
Lament
Discipline
Kill-sin
Increase
Faint-not
Desire
Search-the-scriptures
Remember
Seek-wisdom
If-Christ-had-not-died-thou-hadst-been-damned
Safety-on-high

Man! And I thought I was original when I thought of naming my child, "Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith" only I was going to spell it...
Phyte-da-gude-phyte-ov-faythe

So much for originality. ;)

*giggle*
I'm considering naming Nugget Kill-sin. Although Kyl-Synn seems more fymynyn.

Might I recommend the use of more double consonants?

Kyll-Ssynn is much more in tune with the playground posse this year.

:D
