I’ve read a fair number of oddish (to our sensibilities) names. Mercy and Patience and other of the virtues/sins pop up quite often, as well as things where people liked the sound of them without knowing the meaning. I just hadn’t encountered those particular ones. :)
Courtney Milan has a series where the male protagonists are siblings. The mother was both devout, and insane. The boys full names are *entire bible verses* from which they’ve ultimately picked a single word as a use name (Ash, Mark, and Smite).
