What's your Puritan name?

So, today was quite enjoyable, as we renamed almost everyone we know... it all started in prayership when we were joking about leaving the prayer requests up, but changing the names, and then someone said, let's change them to puritan names! like perSEVerence (notice the inflection) or prudence or something. they turned into more pilgram's progress type names as we progressed throughout the day, though... (*well, this website validates most of them!) here are some of the final results:

Me: Rejoice
Anna B.: Faith
Anna P.: Charity
Valerie: Constance
Joanna: Mercy
Michael: Steadfast
Stephen: Discernment
Josh: Meditation
Lee: Wisdom
Andrew: Judgement
Claire: Harmony
Deborah: Grace? I'm not sure if we decided...
Jordan: Perseverence
Blake (i.e. the intern): Forbearence
Linsday (i.e. the intern's wife): Truth
Jason (i.e. the campus minister): Exhortation
Susie (i.e. the campus minister's wife): Comfort

other names we never used: Obedience, Courage, Prudance, and I'm sure many more...

Next week... Native American names! I'm thinking mine will be "she-who-talks-a-lot"

This is such an addictive name. I am glad I have you in my life to join me in it.
