About this book
Fear-not and Much-mercy were real baptismal names, and Charles W. Bardsley collected many such oddities from English church registers. His 1880 study argues that the custom began well before the Commonwealth, against writers who looked only at that period. A rector's records from Warbleton supplied about 120 Puritan names, and its Puritan minister gave his own children names of this kind. Bardsley's earlier book dealt with English surnames.
