The English Bible, with its tendency to require the full name as a matter of reverence, while it supplied new names in the place of the old ones that were accustomed to the desinence, caused this.

Richelot for Richard, Hobelot and Robelot for Robert, Crestolot for Christopher, Cesselot for Cecilia, and Barbelot for Barbara, are found also, and prove that the desinence had made its mark.

Coming to baptism, we find scarcely a single name of any pretensions to popularity that did not take to itself this desinence.

The extreme facility with which the language lends itself to rhyming desinence has a most injurious effect upon versification.

There are not verses only, but whole poems, in which each line terminates with the same desinence.
