The story of Justyce
The Puritan virtue names were prescriptive. A child called Temperance was being told something, and the names cluster around self-control: Patience, Prudence, Silence, Obedience, Chastity, Humility, Constance, Mercy. Several are explicitly about not doing things. The modern set is aspirational rather than restraining: Justice, Legend, Serenity, Genesis, Destiny, Journey, Trinity, Heaven. They describe outcomes and states rather than disciplines, and several of them describe things that happen to a person rather than things a person does. Both sets are word names built the same way and both were regarded as strange by the generation before them. Reading them side by side is one of the more direct pieces of evidence about what a period thought a good life consisted of, and the change is unmistakable.
