Re: More word names
Their surnames are different; that's all I know. But they certainly come from the same cultural background, where parents often try to give their children names that will serve as good omens or as signs of membership of a particular group, in this case a version of Christianity. Welldone, for instance, is more likely to refer to 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant' than to grilled steak.
