Struggling with a middle name for my child to be. He's a boy. I have a little girl and her middle name is Faith. Can you think of anything along a similar vein for a boy! I am well and truely stuck.x

The only boys virtue names I can think of are Clement and Modest.

Or Endeavour (if you're a Morse fan).

Benedict?
Or are you thinking 'short and decent' rather than holy?

Plenty of apostles and biblical chappies, I suppose: James, Peter, Gideon, Saul/Paul...

Capability if you want virtues rather than biblical?

Apparently Truman means 'faithful'. Shame it's horrible. Grin

Fidel came up a few times too and that's no better!

Amity, Ever (this is getting quite popular, it just means Everlasting or something like that),
Valor/Valour, Zeal, Dare, Fate (bit similar to Faith), Blyth or Blythe (ie. bonny, blythe and gay),
Clement (means merciful, mild), Earnest, Honor (actually a unisex name but mainly used for girls these days), Placid
