What do you think of this girl's name? Which nicknames would you use other than Temper?

No I'm not joking at all. It's not so different from Constance or Prudence after all. The nickname has been something of a sticking point, I must admit.

I haven't approached dh with this name yet but he likes the virtue names, so fingers crossed

I'm not wild about virtue names in general, especially this one.

No way.

I think it's a great name :)

Might get away with Tess as a nickname?

Yes!!! I lovvvvve this name.

If DS2 had been a dd he would have been Temperence, with Tempe for short.

My favorite literary character - in the end he got her surname Smile
