Pilgrims (1600's), Colonists (1700's), and Pioneers (1800's) The pilgrims exercised their newfound freedom by bestowing upon their children creative names, like Love, Humility, Resolved, Wrestling (with God), Remember (God), and Oceanus, for the boy born in the middle of the sea. They gave them names from the Old Testament, such as Obadiah, or classical Greek literature, such as Parthenon; or made them up from English, with names like Reliance, Learned, Temperance, and Thankful, for girls; and Experience, Prosper, Greengrove, and Principle, for boys. ________ For Boys Able Banner Creed Experience Fearnot Godsgift Hopeful Keys (to the kingdom) Listen Mountain Prosper Reason Saywell Trotter Watching Bird Waggoner Enoch Numbers Isaac Welcome Memory Noble Nimrod Prosper Oregon Columbus Reason Round Waitstill Avery 
Early Americans also found that through middle names they could preserve family last names. Many of these worked their way up to become first names, like Clayton, winston, Taylor, and Travis. And because English last names happen to end in consonants or consonant sounds, their boy names trend toward similar endings. In great contrast, numerous places around the world commonly have boy names that end in vowel sounds, like Romeo in Italy, Diego in Spain, Juma in Africa, Makoa in Hawaii, Sasi in Israel, Teemu in Finland, and Akira in Japan. __________ For Girls Aliveine Bliss Comfort Freegrace Hopestill Loveday Moxya Precious Renew Relief Surprise Teaberry Utopia Wisdom.
