Her name being "Faith," it suggests that she is faithful, as in adhering to the religious faith of the Puritans.

Goodman Brown's wife, named Faith, can be seen as an allegorical figure representing faith itself. Her character embodies the belief and trust that can be tested when confronted with temptation and doubt, mirroring Goodman Brown's struggle with his own faith throughout the story.

Why is young GOODMAN BROWN not OLD GOODMAN BROWN?

Young Goodman Brown was the eponymous character in a much-anthologized short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Presumably, he was called "Young Goodman Brown" in the story (rather than "Old Goodman Brown") because, as he was portrayed in the story, he was simply young rather than old. It is interesting to note that "young" is merely an adjective here, so one would expect that in the natural course of events "Young Goodman Brown" would eventually become "Old Goodman Brown."On the other hand, "Goodman" is his Christian name (or as it is now called, his first name, or forename). Goodman is the sort of name sometimes called an aptronym, that is, a name suited to its bearer---or perhaps a name which Goodman Brown's parents hoped would eventually describe him. Hawthorne set his story in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1600s, and as we know, the Puritans were much given to aptronyms for their children, sometime (for example) naming their children after virtues, such as Chastity, Charity Prudence and Patience.Of course, there is the possibility that "Young" is used here in the same way we would use "Junior" today. In that case, Young Goodman Brown's father would have been (presumably) Old Goodman Brown.

Was benny goodman good at the clarinet?

When Goodman's father took him and two of his brothers (Harry and Freddy) to the Kehelah Jacob Synagogue, Benny was given the clarinet because he was the smallest. He really didn't have a choice in the matter, but he seemed very good at it. Because of his ability to think in cascades of notes, his style fit perfectly with the instrument he was given.
