"Virtue" names used to be popular in the early days of America and (with the exception of Grace and Felicity) are declining in popularity. What do you guys think of these names? Which names do you like?

Here are some I can think of or have seen used. I bolded the ones I would consider using:

Bliss
Charity
Chastity
Clemence
Clement(ine)
Constance
Comfort
Faith
Felicity
Fortune
Grace
Harmony
Honor
Hope
Joy
Liberty
Mercy
Precious
Prudence
Patience
Temperance
Verity
Worth

Names found on the Mayflower passenger list:

Remember Allington (F)
Love Brewster (M)
Wrestling Brewster (M -I assume this means "wrestling," like with a difficult decision, not WWF)
Humility Cooper (F)
Constance Hopkins (F)
Desire Minter (F)
Resolved White (M)
