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

The "My name is" ones, stuff like that? The ones that are diary-esque of different young people from history? I can't remember the exact title of them either. Are we thinking of the same thing?
