Bizzarre Puritan names

I've been googling these the past few days, some of them are really funny and it's hard to imagine someone going through life with names like these:

Dancell-Dallphebo-Mark-Anthony-Gallery-Cesar. Son of Dancell-Dallphebo-Mark-Anthony-Gallery-Cesar, born 1676.

Praise-God. Full name, Praise-God Barebone. The Barebones were a rich source of crazy names. This one was a leather-worker, member of a particularly odd Puritan group and an MP. He gave his name to the Barebones Parliament, which ruled Britain in 1653.

If-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned. Praise-God's son, he made a name for himself as an economist. But, for some inexplicable reason, he decided to go by the name Nicolas Barbon.

Fear-God. Also a Barebone.

Job-raked-out-of-the-ashes

Has-descendents

Wrestling

Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith

Fly-fornication

Jesus-Christ-came-into-the-world- to-save. Brother of "Damned Barebone". I can only imagine this name shortened to "Save."

Thanks

What-God-will

Joy-in-sorrow. A name attached to many stories of difficult births.
