Oh, there’s many, many examples of this sort. As I said: [the Puritans were a weird bunch](http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_vault/2013/09/13/puritan_names_lists_of_bizarre_religious_nomenclature_used_by_puritans.html). Personally I feel sorry for “Kill-Sin Pimple”.

And note that If-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned was Praise-God Barebone’s son. According to that link he preferred “Nicholas”. Can’t really blame him.

Do you know, I didn’t read the link (will do, very shortly). I just knew I’d heard of ICHNDFTTHBD from somewhere.
