In England, the Puritans used virtue names and slogan names for both genders, but stopped rather abruptly when the political scene shifted.

Justice, or Justus, is a good one. And, there was a British judge resoundingly named Christmas Humphreys ... he was a Buddhist, which adds to the interest. Not that Christmas is a quality, but it does have powerful associations (love, peace, truth, light, overeating etc).
