ArchivesThese names should be deleted
These names like Faith-my-joy, Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith, Heavenly-mind should be deleted... These names look like a 33 year old came up with them...

They shouldn't be deleted, their usage has been confirmed. Your behavior in many threads is bordering on trolling. Please stop. Otherwise you will be banned. People have already complained about you a lot.

Hmmm, that their usage has been confirmed seems a bit of stretch to me. It could be they are all lifted out of a book called "Curiosities of Puritan Nomenclature" from 1880 that LMS gives in one of those 3 submissions, linking to a page with names that Puritans used around 1590 or so.
Maybe in such cases submit with a short note about this quite special context, as a compromise?

But I don't see any people with those names so that's why. And I'll stop!

People do sometimes use Puritan-inspired names in the modern world. I have seen them, the most recent I met was a little boy named Bread-of-Life. That being said, being as the Puritans don't exist anymore its not common to use the type of names they would use. Just because a name isn't used frequently in the modern era doesn't mean it isn't worthy of being in the database.
