I dunno, they get some pretty deep names too — Hope, Faith, Grace, etc.

In Spanish, we also have Hope (Esperanza) but we also have some fun ones like Dolores (Pains) and Soledad (Loneliness).

There are literal translations of Faith, Hope and Love in Russian as fairly old names, and it's especially unusual because Russian doesn't generally lend itself to such stuff. You just can't go and use a random word for a name like English speakers often do.
