Oooh, I know an Innocent. Bit of a stirrer, actually.

I love Constant.
What about:
Dare
Goodluck (like outgoing Nigerian pres)?
Innocent
August
Sterling
Concord
Sage (bit of a cheat. Sounds like the herb. Sagacity would be clearer, but is horrible).
Makepeace
Adamant
Ardent
Brave
Diligent
Dauntless
Hotspur
Pius
Honorius
Celestine

That constant story is funny.

I knew a Joy who was anything but.

Justice is the obvious one, I think!

The 16th/17th cent Puritans who popularised names such as Hope for girls very often used Biblical names for boys, though a few went over the top with names such as 'Zeal-of-the-Lord'. But to most Puritan parents the meanings of the Biblical names were inspirationa. A list with meanings here: www.babynamespedia.com/search/m/puritans
