Accepted Trevor of Norsham. Redeemed Compton of Battle. Faint-not Hewit of Heathfield. Make-peace Heaton of Hare. God-reward Smart of Fivehurst. Stand-fast-on-high Stringer of Crowhurst. Earth Adams of Waketon. Called Lower of the same. Kill-sin Pimple of Witham. Return Spelman of Watling. Be-faithful Joiner of Butling. Fly-debate Roberts of the same. Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith White of Emer. More-fruit Fowler of East Hadly. Hope-for Bending of the same. Graceful Herding of Lewes. Weep-not Billing of the same. Meek Brewer of Oakeham. The above list may be thought by many a mere burlesque, and so I doubt not it is, but a similar category could be quickly put together from more reliable sources, and some of the names therein set down did certainly exist. The following entries are quoted by Mr. Lower from the registers of Warbleton:— 1617. Be-stedfast Elyarde. — Goodgift Gynnings. 1622. Lament Willard. 1624. Defend Outered. 1625. Faint-not Dighurst. — Fere-not Rhodes. 1677. Replenish French.[96] The ‘Proceedings in Chancery’ furnish us with ‘Virtue Hunt,’ ‘Temperance Dowlande,’ ‘Charitie Bowes,’ and ‘Lamentation Chapman.’ The ‘Visitation of Yorkshire’ gives us ‘Fayth Neville,’ ‘Grace Clayton,’ ‘Troth Bellingham,’ and ‘Prudence Spenser;’ and amongst other more general instances may be mentioned ‘Experience Mayhew,’[97] ‘Abstinence Pougher,’[98] ‘Increase Mather,’[99] ‘Thankfull Frewen,’ ‘Accepted Frewen,’[100] ‘Live-well Sherwood,’[101] ‘Faythful Fortescue,’[102] and ‘Silence Leigh.’[103] The more extraordinary and rabid phases of this spirit have now passed away, but the general effect remains. It is from this date, I have said, must be noted the declension of such a familiar name as ‘Humphrey,’ or ‘Ralph,’ or ‘Joscelyn,’ and of the romance names generally. From this date we perceive the use of some of our present most familiar and till then well-nigh unknown baptismal names.
