I would assume she 'died' and changed her name periodically to avoid anyone noticing her strange longevity.
Yes, but "Except-For-the-Love-of-God-Thou-Wouldst-Assuredly-Be-Damned" Hilferty is too cumbersome for modern forms, conspicuous, and a bit too ironic under the circumstances. I think "Kendra" is much less problematic, although I might have preferred "Felicity" as more nearly the best of both worlds. "Prudence" is decidedly out of fashion.
