You know how at one time it was common to give children names that were desirable (from the parents' perspective) virtues? Patience, constance, chastity, and so on?

I was thinking, what modern-day desirable virtues might make good names? How about adaptability? Generosity? Valor? Indefatigability? Equanimity? Generosity Burkowitz. Indefatigability Choi. Equanimity Alawi. Valor Forrest :-)

Some virtues take more than one word to articulate. Speaker-of-truth-to-power Johnson. Dispeller-of-bad-moods Tanaka.

Well, right now my name is feeder-of-the-hungry. I'm off to cook supper.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sometimes used the German form of his middle name; Gottlieb means the same thing. There was a bit of a fad back in Latinate days (16-18th Centuries) for people to translate their names into or from their classical forms.
