DD1 has a name heavily associated with Puritan times. Now expecting DC2 so am looking for suggestions of names that have a puritan vibe to them for both boys and girls.

I quite like Delilah, Constance, Tobias and Gideon maybe

This has just popped in my head!

Patience is a virtue, Virtue is a grace, and Grace is a little girl who doesn’t wash her face!

Clemency is beautiful but the few I’ve known tend to get called Clemmie. Which makes me think of clammy.
